BLOCKCHAIN : LE LUXEMBOURG EST-IL AU RENDEZ-VOUS ?
2019-06-05 17:00
Description
La Chambre de Commerce et son partenaire académique ESLSCA Business School Paris ont le plaisir de vous convier à la conférence « Blockchain : le Luxembourg est-il au rendez-vous ? » qui se tiendra dans le cadre du cycle de conférences « Les Masterclass de la Chambre de Commerce », le mercredi 5 juin 2019 à partir de 17h00, au Centre de Conférences de la Chambre de Commerce.
Ce sujet sur la blockchain sera traité par un spécialiste en droit financier et droit des affaires, Moundir Akasbi, Professeur dans le cadre du MBA 2 en Finance et en Instruments Financiers de l’ESLSCA Paris et également Directeur pédagogique du MBA droit des affaires internationales de cette institution. Cet expert reconnu est aussi conférencier et auteur de plusieurs articles sur la thématique des blockchains et cryptomonnaies. Moundir Akasbi analysera notamment l’attitude prise par le Luxembourg suite à l’adoption de la loi le 14 février dernier et la mettra en perspective avec celle des autres pays européens et dans le monde.
Emilie Allaert, Responsable des opérations et projets de la Luxembourg House of Financial Technology (LHoFT) où elle se charge de recherche sur les sujets blockchain et digital assets, apportera, quant à elle, des éclairages permettant de nourrir les réflexions actuelles sur cette thématique.
Programme
17h00 : Accueil des participants
17h30 : Mot de bienvenue
Luc Henzig, Directeur Formation de la Chambre de Commerce
17h40 : Blockchain : le Luxembourg est-il au rendez-vous ?
Moundir Akasbi, Professeur en droit des marchés financiers à l’ESLSCA Paris et Avocat en droit des affaires au Barreau de Paris
La Blockchain est présentée par plusieurs acteurs comme l’émanation de la crise de 2008. Or, cette technologie n’est que l’évolution d’une autre, dite de cryptographie asymétrique inventée dans les années 70, et mise en lumière par l’avènement du Bitcoin. Aujourd’hui, le sujet suscite la curiosité publique ainsi que les débats. Pourtant, force est de constater que les pays européens sont encore peu nombreux à s’être positionnés pour mettre en place des réglementations en matière de blockchains. Le Luxembourg est l’un des précurseurs puisque le projet de loi 7363 a été adopté le 14 février dernier. Il a pour but de fournir aux acteurs de la place financière une sécurité juridique pour la circulation de titres via la blockchain. Examinons plus en détails son contenu ainsi que les impacts pour la place financière, et comparons-le avec ses semblables en droit français et étranger
18h20 – Intervention d’Emilie Allaert, Responsable des opérations et projets de la Luxembourg House of Financial Technology (LHoFT) et Co-Chairman du groupe blockchain et digital assets de l’ALFI
