Organisations no longer operate in siloed ventures; platforms are created and technology is supporting the move away from compartmentalised technical systems. Blockchain\u2019s basic premise of a decentralised database can be used in disparate, global industries. Its allure also lies in the fact that a central authority is no longer needed \u2013 transactions are easily facilitated, and secure.<sup>6<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n<div>\n            <!-- Responsive picture tag -->\n        <picture class=\"picture-block\">\n            <source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.getsmarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SLOT41-Q4_Infostat_desktop_970px_04-03-2019_03.png\" >\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.getsmarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SLOT41-Q4_Infostat_mobile__400px_04-03-2019_03.png\" alt=\"\">\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<h3>The industries impacted by blockchain <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getsmarter.com\/blog\/blockchains-effect-on-business\/\">business value-add of blockchain<\/a> is forecasted to exceed $3.1 trillion by 2030,<sup>7<\/sup> and the industries blockchain has disrupted are exponentially expanding. As a greater <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getsmarter.com\/products\/mit-sloan-blockchain-technologies-business-innovation-and-application-online-program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">understanding of its implications<\/a> and technological influence is achieved, so these industries are increasingly affected:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Banking and finance<\/strong><br>Blockchain and bitcoin are two terms often used in conjunction with one another. Blockchain\u2019s digital ledger is the platform from which cryptocurrencies operate.<sup>8<\/sup> As the two technologies are so intertwined, <strong>it\u2019s natural that the finance market would be one of the foremost industries that blockchain has the potential to revolutionise.<\/strong> The banking industry would greatly benefit from blockchain\u2019s decentralised system. Blockchain has the ability to store massive amounts of data securely, and facilitate money transfers more efficiently and cost effectively. Data and transactions would run minimal risk of cyber attacks, experience<sup>9<\/sup><\/li>\n<li><strong>Politics<\/strong><br>Any voting system manages a large amount of data that is recorded, tracked, and finally analysed. Despite the authentication processes that voting often facilitates, tampering of votes is a major concern and reality. <strong>Blockchain could accurately store, count, and track votes \u2013 eliminating recount scenarios or fraud.<\/strong><sup>10<\/sup>&nbsp;Votes would be captured as transactions within the chain, and a verifiable, transparent audit trail would be available.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Energy<\/strong><br>Blockchain could transform the green energy market through the use of smart grid networks. Transactive Grid is doing just this in Brooklyn, New York. Developed by LO3 Energy \u2013 a technology firm that focuses on distributed energy initiatives, consensus systems and blockchain development, the project works by <strong>trading energy among neighbours.<\/strong><sup>11<\/sup> Energy, or as they\u2019ve now developed and termed, Exergy \u2013 is generated, stored, bought, sold and used locally amongst individuals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Healthcare<\/strong> <br>The healthcare system\u2019s biggest challenge lies in the need for an accessible yet safe digital system where <strong>doctors and medical professionals can easily and securely access records.<\/strong> An analysis done by the Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare, Inc., (CAQH) revealed that commercial health plans and providers spend at least $2.1 billion annually in maintaining their provider databases.<sup>12<\/sup> Blockchain presents the potential for health records to be stored and moved from birth to death, despite the change in doctor, medical aid, or location.<sup>13<\/sup> Records can be accessed immediately, saving time in critical situations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Real estate<\/strong><br>The property market is a congested space of paperwork, processes, potential fraud, records, and time. <strong>Blockchain offers digital smart contracts, efficiency in transactions, and security.<\/strong><sup>14<\/sup> Transfer titles, property deeds and other necessary documentation can be stored, and accurately verified.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Transportation<\/strong><br>Blockchain has the potential to work with the Internet of Things in <strong>enabling smart cities.<\/strong> Street signs, traffic lights, cars and even other static objects could collect and send data, captured through embedded sensors, to a system that would react and reroute traffic. The result would be less city congestion, faster commutes and possibly lower carbon emissions.<sup>15<\/sup> Parking could also easily be found, traffic tickets could be managed and paid, and any crashes or maintenance issues would be recognised and handled.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Insurance, education, cloud computing, storage, and even the entertainment business can all benefit from blockchain\u2019s technology. Some industries will develop and adapt quicker than others, but the potential for its application is vast. Growth within blockchain isn\u2019t where the challenge lies, but rather the rate of professionals gaining expertise with this developing technology.<\/p>\n\n\n<div>\n            <!-- Responsive picture tag -->\n        <picture class=\"picture-block\">\n            <source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.getsmarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SLOT41-Q4_Infostat_desktop_970px_04-03-2019_02.png\" >\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.getsmarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/SLOT41-Q4_Infostat_mobile__400px_04-03-2019_02.png\" alt=\"\">\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"related-programme-block\">\n<div class=\"related-programme\" onclick=\"window.open('https:\/\/www.getsmarter.com\/courses\/uk\/oxford-blockchain-strategy-programme', '_blank')\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"col-12 col-md-11\">\n            <div class=\"related-programme__school-logo-container\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getsmarter.com\/universities\/university-of-oxford\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"related-programme__school-logo-link\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.getsmarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/SBS_LOGO_RGB_KEYLINE.png\" alt=\"School Logo\" class=\"related-programme__school-logo\">\n            <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"related-programme__copy\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getsmarter.com\/universities\/university-of-oxford\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"related-programme__school-name\">\n                Sa\u00efd Business School, University of Oxford            <\/a><br>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getsmarter.com\/courses\/uk\/oxford-blockchain-strategy-programme\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"related-programme__programme-name\">\n                Oxford Blockchain Strategy Programme            <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"col-md-1 related-programme__chevron-column\">\n            <div class=\"related-programme__icon-container\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"add-btn\" src=\"https:\/\/www.getsmarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/blog\/assets\/icn_arrow-circle_right.svg\" alt=\"Read More Icon\">\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>Careers in blockchain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Blockchain\u2019s global adoption depends on the technical skills of developers, and the strategic leadership abilities of professionals navigating business solutions.<sup>16<\/sup> Just as the list of potential markets increases, so do blockchain technology jobs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Blockchain development<\/strong> is considered one of the most robust blockchain careers to venture into.
