Node Blockchain is driven by the Ministry of Science and Technology, together with the National University of Córdoba, Universidad Tecnológica Nacional, Universidad Católica de Córdoba, Instituto Universitario Aeronáutico, and the Cordoba Technology Cluster. These organizations have been meeting since last February, working on the definition of the objectives of the project.
