Ryerson University accepted the challenge and plans to establish a consortium of leading researchers in the area of blockchain technology to support the development of blockchain technology with at least five Canadian SMEs. The BRTB will be led by the Blockchain Review Panel (BRP). This panel of experts and IRAP representatives will in turn identify additional Canadian researchers to support SMEs as affiliate members.
