Gibraltar Association for New Technologies aims to boost blockchain ecosystem

HM Government of Gibraltar has today announced the formal launch of the Gibraltar Association for New Technologies (GANT), a trade association that will aim to drive forward Gibraltar’s innovative approach to Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT).

The association will establish formal lines of communication between policymakers and the private sector in Gibraltar’s fast developing blockchain industry as well as facilitating the exchange of knowledge and ideas, with a view to enhancing public trust in this sector. GANT will strive to promote high standards of professional conduct within the blockchain sector in Gibraltar as well as further the reputation of the jurisdiction’s finance industry on the international stage.

They will work closely with HM Government of Gibraltar, the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission and the University of Gibraltar to ensure the development of a strong and sustainable industry, including the delivery of educational programmes that will help advance a core understanding of the underlying technologies supporting the sector.

[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”The Minister for Commerce, the Hon. Albert Isola MP” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]“The Gibraltar Association for New Technologies will represent the views of the ever-evolving DLT landscape here in Gibraltar and will be a vital component in the continued growth of the sector. This forum will allow the blockchain community to become more closely aligned with the traditional financial services sector here and give confidence to the firms operating in Gibraltar that we are committed to working collaboratively on regulatory and other matters of interest.”[/perfectpullquote]

Applications for membership of GANT will be welcomed from firms who have received or have applied for a DLT license in Gibraltar, as well as ICO firms, auditors, lawyers, and consultancy firms servicing these industries, full details can be found in the constitution.

The association intends to build on the strong working relationships that exist between the regulator, the Financial Services Commission, and the DLT Working Group that oversaw the development of the DLT Regulatory Framework, introduced in January of this year. Members will collaborate to keep each other apprised of future policy and regulatory matters.

[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”The Association’s Chairman designate, David Parody” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]“These are exciting times for Gibraltar. A whole new industry is taking off now that the first DLT licenses have been granted by the Financial Services Commission. As an association, we want to ensure that we create an effective and collaborative forum for the discussion of key issues. It’s also incumbent on us that we provide efficient gateways to policy and decision makers so that practical and effective solutions are arrived at. Similarly, we want to build the knowledge base across the entire sector, from experts to blockchain beginners, which is why educational outreach will be a key objective for the association.”[/perfectpullquote]

An initial meeting of GANT will be held on Thursday, November 29th, 2018 at 10:00 at the office of Gibraltar Finance, Suite 761 Europort, Gibraltar, during which the submission of membership application forms and committee nomination forms will be discussed.
