Background

Emerging Horizons was founded by Olivier Rikken in 2019, one of the international recognized leaders in the field of Blockchain.
The philosophy of Emerging Horizons is that all advise towards the impact of new technologies should be founded on either fundamental research or hands-on experience and an evenly good advise is that new technologies won't work for your business.

Fundamental Research

Fundamental research with regards to impact of new technologies is key. Being a PhD candidate on Blockchain Governance and holding 2 master degrees, Olivier Rikken leads by example in this.

Hands-on Experience

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. What could work in theory, might not in practice. So hands on experience is key in exploring new technologies and their impact. So besides fundamental research, we work on our own prototypes and implementations to see the practical impact.

Be honest when it won't work

Too many times people want to ride the hype of a new technology. We are, besides evangalist, also the biggest critics if certain technologies will have an added value to your business. If not we will not hesitate to tell you so!

Our Experience

We offer our services with regards to various emerging technologies. We can give introductions in all emerging tech, but can
deliver indepth knowledge in Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence and Big Data. Here you find an overview of our experience in this field.
