Our mission

The GBA is a business league promoting the business interests of our members while driving support in the development of ethical and sustainable blockchain solutions and leaders through education, certifications, and developing best practices and standards.

What we do

Five ways the association works

Convene

Bring together every level of government from around the world with industry, for dialogue that supports the efficient, ethical and rational adoption of blockchain technology.

Collaborate

More than sixty-five member-led working groups develop practical models, use cases and best practices across health, defence, finance, identity, governance and more.

Build trust

The Blockchain Maturity Model gives buyers, investors and partners an independent, rigorous benchmark for the trustworthiness of a blockchain solution.

Educate

Training, certification and curriculum that help professionals and public servants understand, evaluate and govern emerging technology.

Represent

A member-driven governance model — members elect Electors, Electors appoint the Board — that keeps GBA leadership answerable to members worldwide.

Working groups

65 groups. One agenda.

Member-led groups produce the models, use cases and standards that make emerging technology usable in the public sector.
