Together with its members, the UPU has been regularly studying and identifying new technological trends and opportunities, such as the potential and pathways for innovations in postal digital financial services, artificial intelligence, or opportunities in the area of blockchain. Emerging technologies have the power to reshape our industry in a way that was not possible before. For example, interest in blockchain and other distributed ledger technologies (DLTs) has been growing, with more and more Posts exploring the role DLTs may have in their digital growth. The UPU is following these trends and opportunities closely, and panelists discuss how emerging technologies can help the postal ecosystem create an even stronger network and seize unique opportunities for Posts, their customers, and societies at large.
