LUGANO, Switzerland, April 1, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Jelurida continues to build its reputation as a trusted provider of blockchain 
software and learning services. Henkel [https://www.henkel.com/], a German 
manufacturer with leading positions in consumer and industrial businesses with 
more than 20 billion euros in sales, partnered with Jelurida 
[https://www.jelurida.com/] to build the capacity of product and IT teams to 
understand, approach, and implement blockchain solutions. 

Preparing for a Digitalized Future

Jelurida and Henkel kicked off the engagement with a 6-hour workshop on 
Wednesday, March 27th at Henkel's Dusseldorf headquarters. The effort is part 
of Henkel's 2020+ strategy to accelerate digitalization across the company.

"Working in the digital age requires keeping up to date on emerging technology 
to solve business problems better," said Rodolfo Quijano, Head of EDI and 
Blockchain at Henkel. "That's why we partnered with Jelurida to bring knowledge 
of blockchain to our IT, Shared Services and Enterprise Process Managers in 
Dusseldorf."

"We are very impressed by Henkel's commitment to keeping their staff on the 
cutting edge of technology," said Lior Yaffe, co-founder and managing director 
of Jelurida. "We were able to engage in substantive discussions around where 
blockchain truly adds value in existing business processes – and there are many 
opportunities."

This announcement came shortly after an Ardor-based solution for incentivizing 
diabetes prevention won the grand prize at the Good Dollar Hackathon in Tel 
Aviv.
