https://bitnation.co/ – BITNATION: Governance 2.0
It is a DIY smorgasbord covering legal, insurance, social, security, and diplomacy services. It includes a global public notary service where anyone can record their legal documents on the blockchain, and file them by permanently time-stamping their existence on the blockchain. Estonia has implemented the BitNation public notary service. For example, If a couple gets married on the BitNation public notary, 3 it does not mean they get married in the jurisdiction of Estonia, or in any other jurisdiction. They get married only in the “blockchain jurisdiction.” 4 Ukraine is pioneering a blockchain-based election platform (on Ethereum) that will allow multiple levels of elections, including petitions or referenda.https://www.otonomos.com/ – Otonomos your instant company incorporation| Manage your companies online with Otonomos | Otonomos BCC Pte.

You can allocate share capital to shareholders, appoint directors, issue options to employees, or convertible notes to investors (via smart contracts) from the convenience of a dashboard and without touching a piece of paper.http://boardroom.to/ – BoardRoom | Blockchain Governance Suite
An out-of-the-box board governance platform that relies on the blockchain to manage decentralized consensus with table proposals that can be voted on and executed through democratic assembly. One of its most interesting features is a direct linkage from governance decision-making to funds clearing. Says Nick Dodson, its creator, “It allows funds to be disbursed to a recipient party, based on pre-set rules, as soon as a vote passes a resolution, cutting the time it takes to get paid from several weeks to instant clearing.”Guardtime secures over a million Estonian healthcare records on the blockchain
The government of Estonia has done— a good case of blockchain technology in healthcare. Using Guardtime’s large scale keyless data authentication, in combination with a distributed ledger, citizens carry their ID credentials which unlock access to their healthcare records in real-time. From that point forward, the blockchain ensures a clear chain of custody, and it keeps a register of anyone who touches these records, while ensuring that compliance process is maintained.http://lazooz.org/ – A value system designed for sustainibility
For example, you could start earning cryptocurrency tokens by sharing your automobile driving data via an app (such as La’Zooz for transportation). The next day, you could catch a shared ride with another La’Zooz driver, and the tokens you earned will be automatically deducted to pay for the ride you are taking.In this case, no real money was exchanged, and no payment was offered. Instead, cryptocurrency was earned passively (by just driving), information rights were given to the driver (that you were a legitimate passenger with a good reputation), other rights were confirmed to you (that the driver was trustworthy), a service was provided (to be driven somewhere), and value was exchanged (cryptocurrency) in combined forms of physical and virtual settings. This is an excellent example in the “difficult” category among blockchain-related applications, because many variables and market conditions need to exist for this whole value exchange ecosystem to work. (This is why the La’Zooz service has not launched yet, almost two years after its initial inception)
