In Białystok NON-STATE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF PEDAGOGY in Białystok has the honour to invite you to take part in the 1st Scientific Congress: Man in the age of contemporary challenges and threats which will be held 10 – 11 May 2018 It is well known that nowadays, with the development of civilisation, there is an increasing threat to both individuals and society as a whole. For a man living in the age of terrorism, conflict and other determinants of globalisation, the need for security has become equal to physiological needs thus generating motivation for action and development. From this perspective, it is worthwhile to look at the aspects of threats and face the challenges of the contemporary world in relation to different fields of social sciences. The aim of the Congress is to evaluate the threats and challenges of the present day which determine the quality of life and safety of people, to share achievements, experiences and opinions as well as to discuss and present the scientific accomplishments of the researchers and theoreticians from universities and non-academic institutions from Poland and abroad. We are very pleased to announce that the honorary patronage over the Congress has been taken by: dr Marek Jasiński, prof.

As I am currently doing an internship at The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Warsaw, the embassy came with the question of whether there were any opportunities for Dutch companies in the (rural) Polish bioenergy sector.

    Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) for SME Financing │ 2 Please cite this publication as: OECD (2019), Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) for SME Financing, www.oecd.org/finance/initial-coin-offerings-for-sme-financing.htm This work is published under the responsibility of the Secretary-General of the OECD.

This document and any map included herein are without prejudice to the status of or sovereignty over any territory, to the delimitation of international frontiers and boundaries and to the name of any territory, city or area. © OECD 2019 │ 3 Foreword Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) like blockchain are a relatively recent arrival in the world of finance, but are already driving new forms of financial innovation, new breeds of financial products, and creating new processes and platforms. Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) are one of the most prominent applications of blockchain for finance, allowing for an innovative and inclusive way of financing for small and medium-sized companies (SMEs). Over the past two years the use of ICOs has gone from ‘too small to care’ to ‘too big to ignore’ for markets and regulators alike. Much of the discourse around ICOs to date has focused on the uncertainty of the applicable regulatory framework for ICOs and crypto-asset markets. This report takes the analysis further, discussing “tokenomics” and limitations in ICO structuring which can give rise to conflicts of interest and expose investors to significant risks. It analyses issues around valuation, accounting and allocation of value, as well as trading of tokens.
