Vechain and SingularityNET, industry leaders in blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) respectively, have announced their strategic collaboration. This partnering of technical giants unites powerful emerging technologies with the potential to radically change how the global economy operates, offering powerful enterprise-grade tools to tackle challenges in the field of sustainability and traditional businesses.

Vechain and SingularityNET intend to launch joint research initiatives to fortify the efficacy of each respective platform and ingrain the pair at the heart of future digital development. The combination of these technologies can equip businesses with intelligent tools, signalling the onset of a new phase in the era of digitisation.

Dr. Ben Goertzel, the visionary CEO of SingularityNET, expressed his excitement for the massive potential of this partnership:

“The last few years have taught the world that when the right AI algorithms meet the right data on sufficient processing power, magic can happen.

What’s even better is when the algorithms, data and processing are decentralized in deployment, ownership and control — which is exactly the sort of magic that’s going to happen putting the SingularityNET ecosystem’s AI algorithms together with vechain’s deep and diverse enterprise data, on the joint, secure distributed processing power of the two networks.

This combined power will be applicable to sustainability as one of our initial focus areas, but in the end extends across essentially all vertical markets. It’s hard to overestimate the potential here.”

Vechain’s CTO Antonio Senatore commented:

“We’re excited to be collaborating with leading Web3 AI platform, SingularityNET, combining our rich streams of enterprise data with SingularityNET’s powerful and versatile platform.”

“Blockchain and AI offer game-changing capabilities for industries and enterprises and are opening new avenues of operation. We look forward to working closely with the SingularityNET team to build out new services and continue to advance the fore of possibility in web3 and sustainability.”

Vechain and SingularityNET are enabling a new, more interconnected and automated world, driving new capabilities in the fields of industry and in particular, for action around sustainability.

Mercedes-Benz Singapore has been awarded the Singapore Business Review Technology Excellence Award in the Blockchain – Automotive Services category for its innovative enterprise product, Acentrik. Now in its fifth year, this awards programme lauds companies that ride the digital disruption wave with technological innovations that have successfully transformed industries and business models.

Acentrik’s main feature is Compute-to-Data, with edge computing capabilities – enabling enterprises to align greater data sharing with data privacy.

Compute-to-Data – new potential for data sharing

With Compute-to-Data, which is bringing algorithm to where the data is – allows for privacy- preserving compute jobs for both data provider and consumer. Data providers make confidential data available and monetize from it; while consumers’ algorithms get smarter without being exposed to the raw data. This unlocks greater value in private and confidential data across industries. Acentrik has no access to enterprises’ data, acting as an orchestrator and connecting data sources, ensuring data sovereignty.

By showcasing how a Blockchain solution like Acentrik is revolutionizing the data landscape for enterprises, the journey of this strategic product of Mercedes-Benz has since also led to their recent award.
