How FUB is using Algorand

Fondazione Ugo Bordoni’s focus on Algorand is driven by the technical advantages it offers over other available blockchains, advantages that make Algorand particularly interesting as a component to be used in experimenting with innovative applications and services for citizens, businesses and public administrations. Fondazione Ugo Bordoni is committed to supporting and implementing the activities of 5G, in the investigation of the potential of Artificial Intelligence and in the design and management of digital networks and services. Algorand was the most promising platform and best met the stringent requirements of security, efficiency, real decentralization and low energy expenditure necessary for future FUB's initiatives.
