Gustavo Giorgetti is a seasoned IT entrepreneur with a track record of several successful ventures. While he was visiting Estonia in 2007 on a mission for the World Bank, he was impressed with the pioneer work by the government using X-road as part of the IT Public Sector Modernization program.  Gustavo has developed the first pilot program in Neuquen Argentina using Estonia’s Blockchain experience. In 2017, his team and Visus have successfully run several of Visus’s applications over the X-road and Blockchain platform. Gustavo is Visus Foundation Representative in Latin America.

  • PIDX is fast for both writes and reads,
    saves precious compute and user time.
    I saved 70% of simulation time using PIDX
    on large scale Uintah simulations.
