Proposed next steps:

You need to be the project owner to select a next step.
Our initial research provided information on some of the financial influencers that are involved in implementing blockchain solutions. We also provided two companies that are involved in measuring and capturing data that can potentially be used for road safety and security. Given that there are available resources on this, we propose continuing with the research to provide 7 additional financial regulators who are open to emerging innovative technologies and are involved in approving financial instruments such as cryptocurrency regulations or blockchain. We will also consider the speakers in financial innovation conferences who are involved in blockchain or other innovative financial technologies. We will then describe their work on innovative technologies or in the creation of new financial assets. We will also provide 4-6 companies that deal with measuring and producing data that can be used to create a new type of security like what Home It ( https://homeit.io/en/) does. We will provide the name of the companies, the website of the companies, an overview of their service, why are they similar to the given company, and their valuation. We will focus our research on examples from the US and Europe.
We also recommend undertaking additional research to provide the full profiles of the identified financial regulators or speakers. We will provide their educational background, work background, contact information, interests, press mentions, and other notable details.
