\nThe Builder Programme LEDGER chose the 16 most human-centric and innovative projects among a pool of 291 applicants.<\/h4>\n

LEDGER<\/a>, a European Commission funded project looking for people working on decentralized technologies to give back citizens control over their data, held its Jury Day on Tuesday 28 May in Amsterdam.<\/p>\n
