Resumo: Blockchain has made numerous breakthroughs in the past decade as an emerging technology. The benefits, obstacles, and adoption of this technology still lack in-depth research. A qualitative research method was chosen to conduct eight semi-structured expert interviews to explore adoption within the well-being sector, supply chain functions, and the public sector. The outcomes of the thesis suggest that there is significant potential across all sectors; however, the pace of adoption and the blockchain qualities employed differ. Common themes are that large and complex ecosystems favor blockchain adoption, but more understanding of the technology and transparent legal frameworks are required across all sectors.
