Energy Giant Engie Partners With Maltem For New ‘Blockchain Studio’

French energy company is partnering with business consulting group Maltum to launch a brand new blockchain development spin-off. Dubbed as Blockchain Studio, it is designed specifically for commercial clients. It is expected to target clients in both Asian and Southern Europe regions. According to a press release, the product is basically a software suite meant to accelerate and industrialize the implementation of all blockchain projects.

“Most blockchain projects stagnate at the ‘proof of concept’ stage and this technology still remains the domain of experts and specialists,” the company stated in its release.

The tools will be used in helping develop smarter contracts. More importantly, Blockchain Studio will be easily accessible to users who have no technical knowledge whatsoever. Ultimately, it will help in managing the establishment of a blockchain infrastructure, allowing it to be accessible either on the cloud or directly on the company’s own server.
