- Future French Hiring – Highest growth expected for French companies as 40% plans to hire employees with blockchain-related skills in 2019 and another 12% in future
- United States Lag – Though more than half of U.S. companies are currently investing or will invest in staff with blockchain skills, 15% have decided not to do so and 20% are undecided in 2018
- Key Growth Drivers – Include increasing sophistication and expansion of blockchain applications, continuous expansion of blockchain use-cases across industries, proliferation of companies using blockchain-based third-party solutions and growing business demand for implementation of emerging technologies that can improve existing processes
