The document outlines an action agenda for blockchain implementation in the Netherlands presented by Dutch Digital Delta. It discusses the launch of the Dutch Blockchain Coalition between major companies, governments, and universities to collaborate on blockchain opportunities. The agenda proposes several blockchain fieldlabs across different regions and industries in the Netherlands to test applications, as well as an action line around digital identity and self-sovereign identity using blockchain. Implementation will require creating an accommodating environment and addressing challenges around developing a minimal viable ecosystem and complexity.
