Prof. Dr. Alexander Knauer holds this professorship. He has also been a member of the Blockchain Competence Center Mittweida since 2017 and a member of the management board of the "Blockchain Schaufensterregion Mittweida" funding project. The project is funded as part of the WIR! Change through Innovation in the Region program by the BMBF.
