Toronto, Ontario, January 8, 2018 – GreenBank Capital Inc (CSE: GBC and OTCMKTS: GRNBF) (“GreenBank or the Company”) announces that Daniel Wettreich, its CEO, will be a speaker at WCIT India 2018|NASSCOM ILF 2018, expected to be the largest technology conference in Asia. Daniel Wettreich was invited to discuss the impact of blockchain in the digital age, and will also provide an update on GreenBank’s two blockchain portfolio companies, Blockchain Evolution Inc and Medi-Data Blockchain Inc.

Blockchain Evolution Inc has recently successfully completed the cloning of its EvolveChain identification based blockchain, which is a critical component in the commercialization of the EvolveChain blockchain. The Blockchain Evolution software team can now create multiple versions of the EvolveChain blockchain, each of which can be modified for specific targeted commercial and governmental uses.

Medi-Data Blockchain Inc will utilize EvolveChain to create a custom designed blockchain solution providing medical confidentiality systems for the healthcare community.  GreenBank management believes that recording and storing patient data on an identification based blockchain represents the future of healthcare recordkeeping, as it will maintain confidential data in a secure and low-cost environment in compliance with privacy standards.
