 that's agreed upon by all the parties but the more important thing that I want to stress it's it's now too late to ask this question but by now you should be knowing what a blockchain is because all of your competitors already have consortium the fangs are have a blockchain consortium they're already adopting they're ready deploying the transportation logistics community to have their own so that if the post don't get a blockchain consortium soon you will actually have a harder time surviving the fourth revolution okay so really briefly I'm just gonna pass this up and talk about so what I'm gonna talk about is that you can't just do blockchain the goal here is to leapfrog it's to actually look better than everyone else and to do it really quickly and to do so what you need to do is pop use the power of your collaboration so we're suggesting it you can't just pop blockchain now you actually have to understand what AI and quantum computing are in order to look ahead of the competition and we have experts in AI and quantum optimization that will be working on that our team and helping the post quantum optimize your telematics data so that you could actually have 10 to the 6th improvement in up in delivery time right one million fold improvement so I'll pass that up for now so the these three things added together this is going to create a revolution that's bigger than the web and this is actually the full expression of the information revolution and it's time for the post offices to catch up and to leapfrog everyone else so what I want to talk about are the things that you this industry needs to do the most important thing here is this one let's let's hope it doesn't keep advancing on me can you make sure it doesn't advance past the slide okay so there are four things we believe that the upu and the post need to do number one is you need to fast track a number of killer app pilots there what we do is we partner with not just the best blockchain company in your country but in the world so what we've done is we brought together consensus which is the leading Ethereum developer we've brought together the executive director of the Center for Blockchain Technologies at UCL who used to be the head digital economist for the German Central Bank we've brought together the leading decentralized ID leadership to work with the upu and that's already happening to discuss how to get s42 and 68 to embed into the the worldwide web's emerging decentralized that's standard actually when it it's ratified and when it's adopted in 6 to 12 months it will be exposed in 1 billion browsers that means you could get s48 installed in a billion browsers if we actually move quickly enough so that's the first thing we want to do is propose a number of very powerful pilots using absolute best of breed developers that you could share through all the posts splitting the cost of it so that it's quite affordable and having a uniform platform the second thing is it's really important to understand not just blockchain identity but the standards that are emerging there around the W3C DID movement the the most important thing is for the post to realize that you know it may look like you need blockchain but the reality is the blockchain industry needs the post in order to fully solve the last mile problem to your customers and the fact that you have how many retail operation unless does the post have like 600,000 right it's an enormous retail outlet so if you look at it the the posts are like battleships you're very big you're very powerful but you're very slow you can't turn what you need to do is partner with speedboats but the last thing you should tell the speedboat is don't move faster than us right and that's what most posts do is that we have compliance you can't move faster than us you have to get all these approval you have to allow speedboat to move very quickly if you could get that done you could win this game and leap from Google and Facebook so what I want to propose is that if all the posts could work together so this last episode I think was actually an opportunity when one country starts making a lot of aggressive moves and demanding that you know you change the dues termino dues rates it's actually an opportunity to move away from the old business models and move faster towards innovative digital models so that you can actually take care you can actually dominate in that area so what I want to recommend is that if the posts work together you'll look like and not just a single battleship but an armada and actually I've been speaking to Spanish posts I was hoping they would are you here somewhere but Spanish Carreros no so I was hoping they would join so we could call it the Spanish Armada but anyway so the other thing is I was also the lead facilitator for HTC's blockchain phone so they're very interested in selling blockchain phones into Africa and there's no distribution channel and so they're building a $200 low-cost smartphone you know and I could tell all about it because we help lead the design effort but they're looking for partners to deploy technology into Africa and there are ways that you can make these lightweight phones which are actually partially notes that can make money when you plug them in you can actually make money off these phones while distributing them into Africa and then finally I think what we have to do is look for quick wins and something quantum competing that really gets the industry to go wow I didn't expect that to happen because what we want to do is create this thing we're calling the universal postal blockchain consortium which would be and if you have any questions about this all you have to do is look for one of my sojits wearing one of these and just a few quick words about the pilots the first one which was actually the idea of Sergei Dukulski at the UPU is to take on Facebook how does the entire postal you know Armada take on Facebook which is deploying Libra which is a global stablecoin we're saying you could actually do your own global stablecoin it would have faster adoption than than Facebook would because you have actually more customers than them in the key areas where everybody's trying to acquire new customers there'll be a billion new customers in the next 10 to 20 years coming out of Africa and it's it's a sweet spot to go and make a significant amount of money and have an impact on the world this financial inclusion engine would using a crypto would probably reduce the cost of the money order system well about an order of magnitude so what we did is we partnered with Consensus which is the leading developer of Ethereum and they actually had a project that's running in the country of the Philippines called the ITI pilot and it's ready to deploy so we said let's take that we don't want to take any risk take that technology install it in the UPU have a few posts and trading partners for remittance pilots here and then let's test how you would deploy a cryptocurrency stablecoin in the marketplace which is very interesting and so that's like one project the second one is smart addressing we actually have already gotten the UPU leadership around postal standards to talk to the worldwide web consortium members all we would need to do is formalize that and push through we've written the papers how to do that so uh that's the second one and the third one is we have a fellow named Dr. Fred Lover who won the won nomen prize in optimization so we have stuff that's running that is 15,000 times faster than anything ever and we think we can actually apply it to the telematics data that the ptc has and actually find immediate improvements and we're just looking for a way to work with uh your organization to deliver that once we do we can take these findings and flow through the entire network so that smaller posts can actually be more optimal to give you an idea of what a quantum optimization could do uh google just leaked a paper where they declared that they've achieved something called quantum supremacy have how many of you have heard of quantum computing is that okay that's good so uh it's been predicted that quantum supremacy which is a quantum computer that actually runs faster than a classical one wouldn't be done for a decade so google this let's see if we can you know push that a little so they uh sneak the paper showing that they've already achieved it so that's the starting that that's the sputnik of this movement and if you don't look at quantum computing you you're going to be behind uh what i can tell you is that my team has already been invited by the chief scientist for the supply chains at amazon to sit down for a day with them on friday okay so this stuff is happening and it's happening now i would love the postal industry to work on that and so anyway uh this pilot already has many partners uh and there's many more things we do but the important thing is this if you'd like to find out more there's going to be a workshop tomorrow at 4 10 where the post expo was kind of have to give us 90 minutes to drill down and talk about this uh if you attend we'll give you a free copy of our book you know blockchain design sprints for the postal industry uh and uh and if you have any questions i my associates will be outside and you can just ask us and we'll talk about all of this so i think that if you're looking for a unified uh platform that the upu can help propel this is it uh we've been working with the upu quietly about it and what we'd like to do is now that you don't have to worry about the extraordinary congress it's time to think about the future okay so um the last thing i have is a favor if you are interested at all i need to show uh that there is interest so take your business card and write the word yes i'm interested yes yes and give it to me if i can show a stack of cards to bishar this would actually get a significant amount of attraction in the organization all right it's like the kind of thing you need after silicon valley is like show me the progress okay oh i'll just say one more thing uh there's a a movie called spare parts i don't know have you ever heard of this movie it's from america it's about a little high school in california that was latino and it was like at the bottom of the list and they decided that they wanted to compete in the robot robotics contest so they went up against mit right which they never thought they'd win but they actually ended up winning the contest against mit which was uh unbelievable so what they did is exactly what the postal industry can do and we're going to talk about what they did in tomorrow's workshop so we can talk about a strategy that will work for the upu to leapfrog facebook and amazon and google okay thank you very much moses for those introductory remarks um now if we can move back to what we were talking about before break and christian perhaps you can build on your introduction remarks and talk about your reflections on things like
