The RBC is a not-for-profit organization. MISSION & VISION: The aim is to share deep knowledge and set best industry standards of Blockchain technology via the Retail Blockchain Consortium. This will enable key players in the retail value chain, to understand the practical challenges of the deployment of Blockchain technology at scale across global organisations. The consortium will provide open resource tools and specifications for academic and commercial partners to leverage (or bolster ?) this innovative transformational technology for specific retail value chain use cases
