I'd like to highlight the following:
1. The fact that a big company like PWC France has dedicated an article to Req in their website is big. This company wouldn't risk talking about the partnership for no reason or if Req wasn't good enough. In my opinion they have done this to create more visibility and add credibility so that other big companies interested in blockchain can read about it in their website. If I had a company I would trust what PWC says over anything I can read on reddit/telegram and so on.
2.PwC France says the following:
- PwC and Req are equaly interested in creating and constructing an ecosystem at an international level.
- "We greet ourselves for this new collaboration with one of the most innovative teams of the blockchain ecosystem worldwide".
- "Request Network is an international foundation whose applications are already attracting the attention of international organizations, companies, and governments as this technology allows considerable efficiency and productivity gains through the automation of financial functions such as billing, payments, accounting or taxes."
3. About this partnership and the blockchain lab. Projects they are currently working on:
- The design and development of a prototype for the issue, exchange, settlement and administration of syndicated bank loans for a major banking group.
- The implementation of a smart retail trade finance solution for a major European bank.
- The development of a blockchain prototype for the reinsurance market involving reinsurers, brokers and assignors.
- The Proof of Concept of a securities settlement system for a national bank.
- The implementation of a national exchange by blockchain.
Of course they are not going to tell the name of these banks, companies, governments, etc... They are a serious company and have to preserve the identity of their clients. But this is definitely awesome!
