Welcome to the ubloquity podcast with cofounder Kieran Kelly

we connect everything - ubloquity

In the first episode of the ubloquity podcast we hear from cofounder Kieran Kelly.
Kieran is a successful tech entrepreneur having worked with multiple organisations to help deliver positive economic change through digital transformation.
The three things that neatly sum him up are butcher, IT nerd and TEDx talker.
After spending almost two decades designing and delivering enterprise security solutions for Government, Defence and Aerospace clients, Kieran has been focusing on the benefits of distributed ledger technologies (DLT) and Blockchain to support and enhance supply chain security and digital asset management.
For the past six years, he has developed and deployed commercial Blockchain solutions for global brands across the food and beverage sector.
An established International speaker Kieran has been recognised by Forbes, Bloomberg, The Times and more recently TEDx as an innovator and thought leader in the development of Blockchain for asset identification and security.
Kieran has now begun work on identifying how emerging technologies can be utilised to reduce operational complexities and challenges across the enterprise to support frictionless trade, and harness the trust economy.
Kieran outline how the genesis of the blockchain is that it can't be corrupted, and although it's distributed it remains a single source of truth.
Consumers want to know not only where their food comes from, but that it is safe not only their food, but components. The objective therefore is to support frictionless trade, to pre clear goods to support a trusted trader, a good actor, and to remove that administration, but also to address the fraudulent activity that's in the marketplace.
Unfortunately fraud is increasing year on year, a recent PwC reports shows there's been a meteoric increase.
The pandemic has helped the sector innovate more in 14 months than it has in the last ten years. And people are now becoming more focused on their their food, where it comes from, their components, their clothes, the sustainability, the environmental impact.
And for traders to be able to communicate that story, whilst supporting frictionless trade is transformational, and can take so much cost and risk out of that supply chain.
