Speakers
Guido van Staveren – Moyee Coffee
What can a coffee business possibly have to do with blockchain? Guido van Staveren from Moyee Coffee used some serious out-of-the-box thinking to find a way of creating a more honest way of producing coffee. Through offering coffee farmers a fairer price and offering full transparency, Moyee Coffee is reshaping the industry. And the part of transparency is where the blockchain comes in. By creating a decentralised and fully encrypted blockchain data-storage system, it’s become impossible to falsify pricing, records, you name it. Want to find out why this is the data storage of the future? And more importantly; how you can apply it to your business? Then get your tickets for the next edition of Amsterdam Talks Tech and learn the way.

Toufic “Tey” Al Rjula – Tykn
Tykn is a company that focuses on leveraging Blockchain technology for the building of safe, private and interoperable electronic identity, authentication and trust service (eIDAS) tools. A mouth full but something that is very important and close to heart for the founder of Tykn. The importance of authentication is very real for Toufic “Tey” Al Rjula as he is an “invisible man”. Being born in Kuwait during the Gulf War, his birth records no longer exist making him one of the many “invisible people”. Having lived in refugee camps himself, he spoke to many others who all shared their experiences regarding the hardships they suffered as “invisible people” which gave him the inspiration and motivation to found Tykn, together with social entrepreneur Khalid Maliki, in order to work on providing self-sovereign identity to all.
