    This project aims to foster the development of advanced digital skills of people in the labour force, prioritizing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as job seekers. This will be achieved by offering them access to specialized training courses that align with the most recent advancements in Blockchain technology, particularly its comprehensive applications within the food supply chain. It is expected to support the acceleration of the adoption of blockchain technology in the food supply chain and the agri-food sector.
