The Korea Blockchain Industry Promotion Association (KBIPA) will hold its fifth forum Thursday at the Seoul Garden Hotel.  Lawmaker Min Byung-doo of the governing Democratic Party will deliver a keynote speech under the title of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain and Culture.

The forum, titled the Blockchain Leaders Forum, invited 40 blockchain producers, corporate CEOs, and lawyers.

The participants will share views on the tasks and challenges the blockchain industry faces in Korea.

The government  endorsed the association as a legal entity last month, a signal that the Seoul government will back the development of the blockchain industry,
