Emmanuel Fenet is the founder of the Paris Blockchain Week Forum, which will host a major event in 2022. The event aims to be the main global go-to-event for blockchain in the long-term. Fenet says he is delighted to be a part of this thrilling ecosystem. The Bitcoin Mining Council has recently debuted as an open platform for Bitcoin miners in the wake of an outcry over the volume of fossil fuel-based energy used to mine the cryptocurrency. Fenet: We must find ways to implement ways to reduce the energy consumed by different blockchains.
Ishan Pandey: Hi Emmanuel, welcome to our series “Behind the Startup.” Please tell us about yourself?
Emmanuel Fenet: Hi Ishan. Thank you for the opportunity!

I immediately shared their vision, which led me to enter this amazing ecosystem full of challenges and opportunities. We now have a fully operating staff – a mix of seasoned professionals and younger Web3.0 natives – to deliver one of the most exciting and cutting-edge events in 2022. I am indeed delighted to be a part of this thrilling ecosystem, having closely followed key changes in Blockchain prior to my position here at PBWS.
