A major announcement that was made during the WEF 2016 conference was the news that USB had donated the code for a blockchain-based trading platform to the HEAL Alliance, a non-profit organization that is funding research into HIV.

The code, which was developed in the UBS Innovation Lab in London, is currently been used by fintech startup Finclusion Systems to develop a blockchain platform to issue social impact bonds.
