On 24th March, Rakuten Blockchain Lab hosted visitors from the Japanese Embassies in Dublin & London. The informal discussion centred around the Rakuten experience of setting up the lab here in Belfast as well as what it is like for a Belfast based team work with a global company headquartered in Tokyo. The visitors were also keen to hear thoughts on what both Brexit and the political instability in Stormont might mean for our business. The visitors seen in the photograph are:
