#Here2Empower initiative, part of the B4Students program and supported by the Mane Foundation in education, continues to bridge the gap between theory and practice by connecting students with real-world job market experiences through lectures delivered by BALFIN Group experts.
Recently, an open lecture was held at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and was led by Marlind Maksuti, Head of Software Development at the IT Department of BALFIN Group.
Twenty-five students from the “Physics and Computer Science” program at the Department of Physics were introduced to the concept of blockchain and its close connection to cryptography.
Maksuti shared his insights on the practical applications of blockchain technology in the IT industry, emphasizing its rapid growth. He also explained how blockchain, in conjunction, provides significant opportunities for secure data storage, transactional functionalities, and management.
In addition to the well-known blockchain applications in digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, the students learned about the potential uses of this technology in other fields, including finance and healthcare where these technologies can have a huge impact.
The students expressed great interest and asked numerous questions about the challenges of blockchain technology.
One of them expressed enthusiasm for the entire open lecture, adding: “The pace of life today and the way we interact, not only in personal relationships but also in professional ones, makes me believe that blockchain will replace traditional systems, reduce costs, and increase data security.”
This active engagement reinforces the success of the #Here2Empower mission to share knowledge, experience, and expertise with the next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs.
#Here2Empower is one of the most important initiatives of the B4Students program, which for over a year has successfully built connections between BALFIN Group experts and students across the country.
