Using R3 CORDA blockchain + Kotlin to create solutions for financing construction and infrastructure projects
Full agenda available [HERE]
ABOUT
The CBC is pleased to announce our first DLT/AEC Hackathon, led by University College London and R3. On this event we will develop blockchain financing & payment tools for the real estate and construction sector and initiate our first CBC open source project: Smart Financing for the AEC Industry.
The Hackathon will take place over five days in Central London. It will begin at CordaCon London 2018, R3’s annual flagship conference covering the latest developments in R3 blockchain technology, and then move to UCL’s Bloomsbury Campus for 3 days of intense coding with R3 developers and a final presentation day.
This event is open to all, but will be of particular interest to CEOs and CTOs in the Real Estate and AEC industries, Startups, AEC Professionals, Computer Scientists and Software Developers. No Corda knowledge is necessary but a general understanding of OOP is desirable. Familiarity with Java and Kotlin is recommended.

ABOUT THE CBC
The Construction Blockchain Consortium was established to develop knowledge transfer, arrange commercial and academic presentations, assess and test commercial services and technology, conduct research, and drive policy, regulation and understanding of the consequences of Blockchain and other emerging technologies in the Built Environment. The CBC is led by the UCL Department of Computer Science and The UCL Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment. We also investigate the development of open source tools on behalf of the industry and encourage application developers to build proprietary technology and services to deliver sustainable construction solutions.
