The report can be found here. A while back Chainfrog worked with VTT and the Finnish Ministry of Transport and Communications, LVM, to produce a report on blockchain. It’s in Finnish, but the abstract is translated into English and is reproduced below.

It’s good to see that government is taking such an active interest in the potential future impact of emerging significant technologies like blockchain.

Abstract: Blockchain technology is changing our perception of data management – the way in which data is stored and the models of digital connections between different types of actor networks. Blockchain technology can be adopted by decentralised information networks and allows the confidentiality, integrity and transparency of the information to be preserved without centralised management systems. Blockchain applications are constructed on existing digital data and ICT infrastructure, which reduces testing costs and allows the quick creation of applications cases. In fact, a large number of use cases have been identified and new cases are emerging at an increasing pace. Application areas within the transport sector include logistics, mobility services and the work of the authorities. This report brings together researchers’ views on the potential of blockchain technologies in transport and communications. While there are a large number of potential applications it is emphasised that blockchains are still immature as a marketplace technology. However, there are areas where blockchain technology can be and is applied. Despite the technology’s potential cost-effectiveness, the risks and problems are not yet fully known – yet the economic impacts of are foreseeable. Regarding the social and societal impacts there is a high level of uncertainty: the impacts may on the one hand be profound and may prompt us to question existing structures and processes, while on the other hand the immediate impacts may be marginal. Many prospective impacts may be regarded as generic: more so associated with information and communications technologies and not exclusively limited to blockchains.
