The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) has worked together with the Saxony Land Directorate (LDS) in the Anker facility in Dresden to set the stage for a federal blockchain asylum infrastructure (FLORA) in Germany.

A new blockchain-based support system supports cooperation between authorities in the asylum process. The FLORA support system not only helps improve workflows, but also reduces the likelihood of processing errors, whilst at the same time enhancing data protection and making systems more secure against manipulation.

The BAMF’s FLORA project is a lighthouse project for the deployment of blockchain in public administration, and can be seen as a digital enabler of federalism.
