China’s video game giant, Tencent, is the latest respectable company to add significant weight to the Canadian-based Blockchain Research Institute (BRI).

Tencent, the world’s most profitable video game company, is the latest big name to back Don and Alex Tapscott’s new baby: The Blockchain Research Institute (BRI).

The Tapscott family created the BRI to help explore the strategic opportunities of Blockchain, a technology the Tapscotts believe will shape the future of business and government.

The Canadian-based group began well. Powerhouses like IBM, Fujitsu and Bell all jumped aboard the BRI express early doors, and Tencent has loaded their gang into the caboose along with FedEx and the Ontario Ministry of Health.
