They offer unprecedented opportunities and new challenges. Shaping a shared vision on digital cooperation and a digital future that shows the full potential for beneficial technology usage, and addressing digital trust and security, must continue to be a priority as our world is now more than ever relying on digital tools for connectivity socioeconomic prosperity.

Blockchain for Impact Co-founder and President of the Global Partnerships Forum, Amir Dossal says, "As we celebrate the UN's 75th Anniversary and the 5-year mark for the SDGs, it is clear that we need to take a quantum leap to advance the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. We need concrete initiatives that use digital technologies and develop stronger partnerships — this year is set against a pandemic that has the potential, due to its urgent need to accelerate leadership around innovative technology, to bring solutions to the front lines. Innovations like Blockchain must be at the forefront for a better future and reinvent around old problems. Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals can only be viable with digital technology at its core. I applaud Vince for his leadership."
"Seeing through this Pandemic and keeping our eye on the SDGs is a task bigger than life, but one we can embrace if the right technology, innovation, partnerships, stakeholders, and multilateral partners come together. We are very excited to see Blockchain for Impact be placed under Vince's tutelage, as this is a platform that with his leadership the industry will rally together, to rebuild, stronger, smarter and focused on a better tomorrow," said Sergio Fernandez de Cordova, Co-founder of BFI and Chairman of PVBLIC Foundation.

I am very confident that with Amir's life commitment to developing partnerships to make the United Nations a hub for the world and Sergio's Public-Private Partnership (PPP) background building solutions around the SDGs, we maintain the core founders together, but with the full resources of our various platforms," stated Vince Molinari Co-founder of BFI and Founder & CEO, Molinari Media & FINTECH.TV.
