CVA PRESIDENT’S CONFERENCE INTRODUCTION
On behalf of myself and the crypto Valley Association I would like to welcome
you to the inaugural Crypto Valley Conference on Blockchain Technology. The
first-ever Blockchain conference to be certified by the IEEE, we are here tofocus on the nitty gritty issues that will be key to the success of our young
industry: research, innovation, and above all, technology.
Over three days we will hear from over 30 prominent blockchain thought leaders, present 25 important new academic papers, award CHF 30,000 in prize
money, and host 24 exhibitors from all corners of our community. We will explore complex and important crypto economic and finance topics, from token
analysis and governance to crypto monetary policy and market microstructures. We will also take deep dives into cutting-edge developments in blockchain technology, from smart contracts and micropayments to identity management, decentralized applications, and the latest in consensus protocols.
With over 30 exciting satellite events, there will also be plenty of opportunity
to relax. But our primary focus is academic excellence, driving progress inblockchain through hard work and deep thought. We are very proud to be able
to host such a conference here in Crypto Valley. I think it is also fitting.
Over the last few years, Crypto Valley and Switzerland have establishedthemselves as one of the world`s premiere blockchain hubs. We have becomea preferred choice for startups lookingto raise capital through token launches, not least because we have a government that supports this technology and a regulator that has been a role model in setting guidelines to bothprotect investors and support innovation. But there is much more to Crypto
Valley than just ICOs. We are home to some of blockchain`s most importantorganisations and companies, with new ones seeming to arrive every day.
For a small country, we have developed an impressive ecosystem of blockchain-related expertise. We are home to world-class academic institutions
and a highly educated, extremely productive workforce.
Perhaps most importantly, we are a magnet not just for those who want tobuild exciting new businesses, but also for those who, inspired by the Swissmodel, are passionate about using blockchain to build a better world. It is in
this spirit, and in the spirit of progress for our young, exciting and very dynamic industry, that we welcome you to our Valley. We wish you a fascinating,fulfilling and above all fruitful time here.
Oliver Bussmann
President, Crypto Valley Association

INTRODUCING

The creation of Crypto Valley was inspired by the enormous advantages of global industry clusters — a friendly regulatory environment, network effects, economies of scale, attracting theworld’s best talent, building deep pools of capital and a rich
ecosystem of resources and know-how for startup companies,
nurturing an entrepreneurial culture, infectious energy, andstrong trust relationships that make the impossible possible.
Through the broad support of numerous individuals, startups,
corporates, service providers, industry associations, educational institutions, governments, and regulators — especially theearly pioneers Monetas, Ethereum, Bitcoin Suisse, MME Legal,
the Digital Finance Compliance Association, the Bitcoin Association of Switzerland, Lucerne University of Applied Sciences
and Arts, the canton and city of Zug, the Greater Zürich Area,
Switzerland Global Enterprise, the Swiss Financial Market
Supervisory Authority (Finma), and the Swiss Federal Government — Crypto Valley has grown into one of the world’s leading ecosystems for crypto, blockchain, and distributed ledger
technologies, with dozens of companies in this space now calling Crypto Valley home and thriving in its vibrant community.
In January 2017 the Crypto Valley Association was established
as a professional organization to coordinate, accelerate, andscale the further development of Crypto Valley into the world’s
best ecosystem for crypto technologies and businesses. The
founding members included Bitcoin Suisse, Bussmann Advisory, iprotus, Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts,
Luxoft, Monetas, and Thomson Reuters.

PLATINUM SPONSORSPLATINUM SPONSORSFounded in August 2013, Bitcoin Suisse is a pioneer and global
market leader in crypto-financial services. Bitcoin Suisse provides its global institutional and private client base with thefollowing services: brokerage services, ICO services and otherrelated offerings such as storage solutions, blockchain analysis and a payment gateway system.

Melon provides individuals and institutions with the right tools
to set up, manage and invest in investment funds of digitalassets. Whereas setting up a fund used to be associated withhigh costs and, operational and administrative overhead, Melon enables you to set up a fund in digital assets in a matter ofminutes and at a fraction of the costs.

More than 50 employees in Switzerland and Denmark service
private and institutional clients and develop inhouse technology. Bitcoin Suisse is a licensed financial intermediary incorporated in Switzerland, operating under Swiss law and according
to AML (Anti-Money-Laundering) regulations.

It can provide significant savings in time and operations byreplacing the majority of the tasks traditionally performed by
the fund administrator with smart contracts. The rules of setting up and running a fund are encoded into the contracts andenforced by the blockchain.

Bitcoin Suisse has played an important role in some of themost successful and influential projects in the crypto space,such as Ethereum.

When setting up a fund, the manager first choses the parameters:
Fee structure, trading exchanges and KYC/AML requirements
among others. Once selected, the fund will be deployed on theblockchain according to these rules and from that moment on, themanager can only behave as specified. This ensures transparent
investment strategies, which brings assurance to investors.

Learn more about Bitcoin Suisse on: www.bitcoinsuisse.ch

Investors who simply wish to outsource the investment decisions to experts will have access to the entire array of Melon
funds through a ranking list with historical performances andother basic fund information.
Melon is intended as an autonomous system, designed specifically for the purposes of crypto asset management. Both theMelon frontend (IPFS) and backend (Ethereum) are hosted andexecuted on decentralised platforms.
