From Innovation to Compliance: Strategic Integration of Blockchain, Crypto-Assets & AML - 02&04/12/2025
This course equips professionals with the knowledge and strategic tools to integrate Blockchain, DLT and DLT applications into corporate compliance frameworks, with a strong focus on AML risk management and the evolving EU regulatory landscape under MiCAR. Participants will explore how blockchain technologies can enhance transparency, automate compliance processes and support regulatory readiness, while gaining an understanding of the impact of crypto-assets on the overall business compliance framework.

There is an urgent need for professionals to understand the compliance risks and opportunities posed by DLT technologies and develop the strategic capacity to align innovation with regulatory obligations. This course addresses a critical gap in the market by enabling participants to design compliance-driven, blockchain-enabled frameworks that support transparency, auditability, and sustainable growth.
