All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) are informal, cross-party groups formed by MPs and Members of the House of Lords who share a common interest in a particular policy, area, region or country. The APPG Blockchain was established to ensure industry and society benefit from the full potential of blockchain and other distributed ledger technologies (DLT). The Big Innovation Centre organises a series of events for the APPG which are open to the public and where leading industry figures are able to inform and educate the public and MPs of how, where and why blockchain technology is, or could, be used.
