Tech Bureau, the leading Japanese blockchain technology company, is offering its private blockchain, Mijin®, to Digipolis, an organization for inter-municipal ICT services for Ghent and Antwerp, as part of "The Blockchain Lab" to demonstrate the viability of blockchain technology in efficient and reliable administrative services.
Digipolis is setting up "The Blockchain Lab", a test environment that will allow Digipolis with government instances to evaluate different blockchain technologies for potential projects in the future.
As part of this, Digipolis enacted a "The Blockchain Lab Initiative" to explore an evolution in administrative services and leverage blockchain attributes: high availability, falsification avoidance, distributed ledgers and forgery elimination.
Tech Bureau is an Osaka-based corporation specializing in blockchain systems with its flagship private blockchain known as Mijin® and public blockchain NEM. Apostille is an open source tool within Mijin® and NEM that issues credentials of transferable ownership through blockchain technology.

More obscure (for us in the West) news for NEM and Mijin from a couple of months back. NEM and Tech Bureau are driven to stress test their platforms and have started tests with some prominent names such as Hitachi. This is great and puts further confidence that their Catapult platform will be solid.
