Accelerating Web3 Adoption: Roland Berger and the Inacta Group Cooperate on Digital Assets and Web3 Venture Building for their Clients

Inacta Group, a leading Swiss IT solution provider with a venture building arm focused on blockchain enabled business models, and Roland Berger, a global strategy consulting firm, have disclosed that they are working on joint Web3 projects and intend to closely cooperate on many more in the future. One of the projects is for the German utility giant E.On which was announced in December 2022, another is for a pharma- and consumer goods giant based in Switzerland.

Inacta is headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, in the heart of Crypto Valley, and has delivered many Digital Assets and Web3 projects for clients like AXA, InCore Bank, Swiss Post, Raiffeisen Bank and Visa. Additionally, Inacta has been one of the initiators of the fastest growing blockchain ecosystem in the world, MENA focused Crypto Oasis.

Crypto Oasis has been the facilitator for this deal by connecting the stakeholders through their expert knowledge of the global Web3 network. “Many such deals, connecting global players, have been orchestrated by Crypto Oasis as we build on the strong infrastructure of the Middle East and the talent and capital migration into the region,” says Saqr Ereiqat, Co-Founder of Crypto Oasis.

Roland Berger has been at the forefront of advising blue-chip companies, investment funds and governments on Digital Assets, Web3 and Metaverse strategies and use cases.

“Inacta is a reputable company in the Web3 ecosystem. With this new partnership, we extend our offering further towards the implementation of Web3 ventures, while still maintaining the necessary objectivity to be protocol- and vendor agnostic, a key value for us when advising clients,” says Pierre Samaties, Partner and Global Head of Roland Berger’s Digital Asset, Web3 and Metaverse practice.

“Roland Berger is a thought leader among the top strategy consulting firms in the Digital Assets and Web3 space. With our strategic partnership, we can combine strong strategy consulting skills with Web3 implementation power for our clients. We leverage this experience out of Crypto Valley and the growth in Crypto Oasis to bring more Web3 and Digital Asset solutions into the corporate world. For us, it is not about trading of crypto currencies, it is about building infrastructure for Tokenisation, Provenance and Digital Identities in several areas,” says Ralf Glabischnig, Managing Partner and founder of Inacta.

BREATHE! Convention, for the spectrum of people involved in Web3, has announced its pursuit of the Edenark Group ISO 14001 environmental sustainability certification program as part of a dedicated effort for more sustainable and environmentally responsible Web3 practices.

The Edenark Group ISO 14001 is the world’s premier environmental sustainability certification program, designed for small to mid-sized enterprises to attain the world’s most popular environmental certification standard in a program that is specifically designed and priced for them. This certification program helps organizations progressively improve at a pace that works for their needs, defining how they interact internally, externally, and with the environment.

“When an organization pursues, and attains, the Edenark Group ISO 14001 Sustainability Certification, they are not just doing it to see their costs go down and revenues and profits go up. They are setting a higher bar for their organization and sending a signal to all those around them,” said David Goodman, CEO of Edenark Group in regards to the pursuit of the ISO certification.

“They are agreeing to adhere to the world’s gold standard for sustainability certification; are choosing to be a leader and part of the solution, not the problem; and are joining an elite fraternity of over 300,000 organizations, in over 150 countries, that have committed to continually improve in every way.”

This pursuit for ISO certification has made BREATHE! the world’s first Web3 convention to do so. BREATHE! Convention has also consciously demonstrated sustainable practices with the decision to occupy 120,000 square feet of the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) and to partner with Renaissance Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) has implemented initiatives in the convention center to save energy, conserve water, reduce waste, and reduce emissions, in addition to having a commitment to build on current successes and maintain a proactive approach towards future sustainable activities.

BREATHE! Convention has made Renaissance Hotel by Marriott its Official Hospitality Partner. Conveniently located just 223 walking steps from the Las Vegas Convention Center, Renaissance Hotel Las Vegas property is a four diamond, fourteen-story, 400,000 square feet, non-gaming, smoke-free hotel that has achieved recognition for its sustainable commitment since 2017.

Shawn Willis, Founder & CEO of 5AM Global/BREATHE! Convention, stated, “The Edenark Group ISO 14001 Sustainability Certification will both help to hold us more accountable and help to inspire, motivate, and set a standard for other companies who aspire to take the same steps. The company culture and processes of 5AM Global and its production of BREATHE! Convention are built around solutions to reduce waste, manage risk, personal and professional development, and philanthropy for our employees, clients, and strategic partners.”

– Blockchain
– Cryptocurrency
– DeFi
– Metaverse
– NFTs

“We’re reaching a point where communities across the world are waiting for something new to happen in the Web3 space,” said Public Relations Director Brian Edmiston.

“What is crucial right now in this economic climate is for professionals to have a fully immersive mega-hub for networking, education, and showcasing this technology and how it affects not just business around the world, but our day-to-day lives. When we do that, the mass adoption of Web3 can finally take shape.”

BREATHE! recently released its Impact Video, detailing its campaign message, which is viewable directly on the BREATHE! Convention YouTube Channel.

With 2023 in full swing, the BREATHE! Convention has prioritized its efforts in securing and finalizing its growing line-up of expert industry experts from across the globe.

When asked about his thoughts on the current state of new technology sectors like Blockchain, BREATHE! Advisory Board Member Rory Kelly, Owner of Bithome LLC, had this to say:

“Look at what the dotcom bomb gave us. It gave us some of the greatest tech giants right now, Apple for example. There is so much innovation within blockchain and there are a lot of things that people don’t know about or hear about that blockchain is being used for or considered for…”

“Honestly, the world currency is going to come from a cryptocurrency that is run on the blockchain. That’s a fact… There are just so many ideas and so many things out there that people don’t know. I’d love this event to become the place where innovators tell us about their new products, educators tell us about the blockchain, when did it start, what’s its future. I love everything about it.”

BREATHE! Convention has also released its 2023 Roadmap to provide the path that BREATHE! intends to pave for participants, attendees, and followers of this experienced-based Web3 convention.

Fujitsu Launches New Platform to Support Web3 Developers Globally

Fujitsu today announced the launch of its “Fujitsu Web3 Acceleration Platform,” offering a developmental environment as well as various service APIs based on blockchain and high-performance computing technologies. Fujitsu envisions the platform as a future community for users in start-ups, partner companies, and universities working to build the next generation of Web3 applications and services.

Figure 1: Overview of the Fujitsu Web 3 Acceleration Platform

Figure 2: Image of the Fujitsu Web 3 Acceleration Platform

The new platform will connect users to Fujitsu’s existing suite of Computing as a Service (“CaaS”) (1) applications, including “CaaS HPC” and “CaaS Digital Annealer”, as well as the “Fujitsu Computing as a Service Data e-TRUST” (“Data e-TRUST”) (2) module. Data e-Trust leverages Fujitsu’s “IDentitY eXchange” (“IDYX”) (3) and “Chain Data Lineage” (4) technologies for ensuring the authenticity of transactions and secure data distribution and utilization between different systems and services with blockchain and other data verification tools. Moving forward, Fujitsu also plans additional technology modules for the platform, including its transparent trust transfer technology (5) and “ConnectionChain” (6) technology.

Fujitsu will provide access to the platform free of charge to select participants of its global partner program, “Fujitsu Accelerator Program for CaaS” (7) to drive co-creation of new Web3 services. Program partners will be able to begin to use the platform in Japan from March 2023, with availability step-by-step expanding to partners globally starting in fiscal 2023.

The platform will contribute to the realization of a rich ecosystem that empowers users to create new applications for Web3, allowing for new ways to interact, create, and share data freely and securely for use cases including digital content rights management, contracts, business transactions and processes.

Under its vision for Fujitsu Uvance to achieve a sustainable world, Fujitsu ultimately aims to offer a Web3 platform that allows companies and individual users to connect to co-create transformational, value-added solutions to a variety of issues facing society.

Services and technologies

In addition to blockchain and verification technologies offered through “Data e-TRUST,” the new platform will provide users access to Fujitsu’s world-leading, advanced computing technologies and applications including “Fujitsu Computing as a Service HPC” and “Fujitsu Computing as a Service Digital Annealer” for developing and running simulations, AI and combinatorial optimization applications. These technologies will allow users to analyze and evaluate multiple scenarios for formulating solutions to various societal issues based on data that ensures trust.
Moving forward, Fujitsu will step-by-step provide further prototype functions for Web3 leveraging Fujitsu’s transparent trust-ensuring technology and “ConnectionChain” technology for co-creation partners via CaaS.

Creating new business through co-creation with the Fujitsu Web3 Acceleration Platform
Fujitsu will provide a portal site and development environment to support co-development activities and the development of new Web3 applications and services, and to test and practice the value these new Web3 applications and services offer. Fujitsu and its co-creation partners will examine use cases, develop prototypes, and conduct PoC trials aimed at creating new business related to the following three key themes of Web3:

1. Realization of a co-creation society through decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO)
Trial development and implementation of new Web3 services in which projects are organized and promoted through autonomous consensus among participants according to various objectives
Visualization of participants activities and value they created to appropriately distribute gained profits according to individual contribution

2. Rights management and utilization of digital content
Development and implementation of new Web3 services for distribution of digital content including images and videos to protect copyrights and guarantee authenticity of digital data
Supporting the creation of various contents based on secondary work and reused work that can be freely distributed by providing a system that guarantees copy rights and legitimate compensation of creators

3. Realization of digital trust
Test development and implementation of new Web3 services to ensure the accuracy and reliability of information by avoiding risks such as leakage of personal information and fraudulent transactions in order to enable more flexible and open communication and use of information
Realization of a new social paradigm in which companies and individual users can connect securely by preventing digital fraud and ensuring authenticity in all transactions and sharing of data knowledge

Future Plans

STGZ Partners with Klaytn to Scale Next Generation Metaverse Platform for Artists

The next generation real-time live virtual events and concerts metaverse platform company STGZ, announced a partnership with Klaytn, a global metaverse public blockchain platform today. The partnership strengthens the STGZ platform through Klaytn’s fast, secure, and scalable public blockchain technology, enabling STGZ to offer metaverse experiences globally. Klaytn is a public blockchain focused on the metaverse, gamefi, and the creator economy. The project’s MainNet went live in June 2019 and has developed rapidly to become one of the most trustworthy brands in the industry.

“Klaytn is a blockchain platform led by South Korean internet giant Kakao. They are known for their fast, secure and scalable blockchain technology,” said CJ, CEO of STGZ. “We are thrilled to partner with Klaytn and bring their blockchain expertise to our platform, assisting us in achieving our goal of making the metaverse accessible to everyone.”

Officially launched in June 2019, Klaytn is the dominant blockchain platform in South Korea and is now undergoing global business expansion from its international base in Singapore. Klaytn is the public blockchain subsidiary of Kakao, South Korea’s second-largest company after Samsung, which pioneered the super app Kakao Talk. Kakao’s deep influence in Korea’s technology and entertainment industry and their global expansion plans, provided the backdrop for an investment and partnership with STGZ.

Klaytn’s business expansion activities are supported by the Klaytn Growth Fund, which aims to grow the ecosystem of companies built on Klaytn. The Klaytn Growth Fund is managed and disbursed by Klaytn Foundation, a Singapore-based and non-profit organization established in August 2021.

Klaytn has invested in a multimillion dollar grant to STGZ to help market and bring their blockchain into the U.S. market with festivals, NFTs, and the most advanced entertainment metaverse experiences to artists and fans.

The STGZ platform solves the problem of a lack of dedicated virtual interfaces for events, content sharing, and community building in the metaverse. Artists and fans alike now have a new platform to share and monetize their creative works and interactions in the metaverse with STGZ.

STGZ bridges the gap between real life and the metaverse using cutting-edge XR technology to create immersive and interactive entertainment experiences that anyone can share with the world, from anywhere in the world, and for free. The platform is disrupting traditional social media by replacing static pages with fully customizable 3D stages, allowing users to create their own perpetual spaces and experiences including the ability to live stream during events and shows.

STGZ tears down prohibitive costs that allow fans to virtually attend real-world events from anywhere in the world and provides artists with the ability to take advantage of web3 technology. It’s easy to use, a free stage for everybody, and makes for the ultimate metaverse platform for artists and fans to share experiences and grow communities together.

For fans, STGZ provides them the abilities to visit their favorite artists, explore new performers, and hang out with friends at concerts and festivals. Unlike real-world events and once the event is over, the experience still lives on, allowing fans to replay performances or attend performances they missed.

For artists, STGZ provides a unique way for them to share their art and themselves, while at the same time earning from multiple traditional and web3-based revenue streams: such as ticketed events, advertisements, sponsorships, wearables, VIP NFTs, and more.

In 2022 STGZ continued to build out their platform, complete strategic partnerships, and launched the MetaMansion Hamptons Edition with the globally renowned DJ’s Diplo, Disclosure, and Kygo. STGZ will outline their 2023 plans in press releases throughout this year.

Plato Hits 10M Visitors, Lays Out Web3 Vision at Quantum Miami

Plato Technologies Inc. (Plato) announced today that it has passed the 10 millionth visitor mark on its Open Beta. “This represents a significant milestone for the company, and we want to thank everyone involved in this project for their contribution over the course of the last three years of bootstrapping,” said Bryan Feinberg, Plato CEO.

Plato was built as a response to the security vulnerabilities that became prevalent across the ICO boom of 2016-17, as an ultra-secure environment to consume sector specific intelligence with a zero ads model. The company that has been operating in semi-stealth mode for the past 3 years is presenting this week at Quantum Miami (QuantumMiami.com).

“We not only created an immersive data platform that is built to scale, but we figured out how to authentically engage across the sectors we cover, especially across Blockchain & Web3. We started by building an organized taxonomy of the blockchain industry, and once we cracked that we went after the entire innovation superhighway, which now consists of 27 market verticals that intersect with venture capital and private equity. We view ourselves as part of the fabric that is the foundation of Web3, especially when it comes to secured connectivity and trustless environments,” continued Feinberg.

“We learned so much from Beta, not only how to build Ai, but how to build a sustainable data ecosystem via a low-cost, high value product. We are strong believers in testing assumptions against the dynamics of real-world environments and this Open Beta was the perfect medium to battle test our frameworks. Web3 is going through a metamorphosis at present and the race is incorporating more Ai as it relates to driving more personalized and authentic engagements.”

Since its beta launch in April of 2020, Platodata.io has had over 70,000 enterprise visitors from 200+ countries across 27 languages, and 40% of the Fortune 1000.

About Plato

Plato is an open intelligence repository and data platform that unlocks the power of Vertical Search in a highly scalable way. The platform is designed to provide an ultra-safe and secure environment to consume sector-specific real-time data intelligence across 27 market verticals and 27 languages.

The Crypto Oasis Identifies 1,650+ Blockchain Organisations in the UAE at the End of Q4 2022

Crypto Oasis, the fastest growing Blockchain Ecosystem in the world has now surpassed their goal of identifying 1,500 organisations in the Ecosystem by the end of 2022. As of 31st December, there were over 1,650 organisations and the ecosystem has been growing faster than previously anticipated.

The Ecosystem has witnessed a sturdy 13.8% growth that proves that the Crypto Oasis is expected to continue its robust growth in the coming months as regulators in the region welcome innovation and disruption, making it easier for blockchain-related companies to secure licences and operate. At the forefront of this is Dubai Multi Commodities Centre(DMCC) which is home to over 500 of these native Blockchain organisations, representing the largest concentration of crypto and blockchain companies in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

Crypto Oasis has added 200+ new organisations in Q4 2022 that have brought in 1,300+ new professionals to the burgeoning Ecosystem, bringing the total number of individuals working in this industry to 8,300+. This 19% growth in employment numbers can be attributed to the UAE being a force to reckon with in the global Blockchain landscape. 78.2 percent (approx. 6,500) of these individuals work in native blockchain organisations, i.e. those which are focused on blockchain and related decentralised technologies. 21.8 (approx. 1,800) percent work for non-native companies, i.e. those that offer blockchain related services or products but do not have blockchain as their primary focus.

Ralf Glabischnig, Founder of Crypto Oasis, stated, “We’re thrilled to have identified these new organisations in our ecosystem that are contributing to a diverse community of stakeholders. The possibilities for Web3 technology are vast, from finance and supply chain management to gaming and social media. However, as it’s a relatively new and emerging technology, its full potential hasn’t been reached yet and the industry is facing challenges such as scalability, security, and user adoption. It’s an exciting and rapidly evolving field to watch and we’re eager to collaborate and learn from each other as we work to improve Web3 and decentralised technologies.”

The Crypto Oasis supports blockchain and Web3 organisations to access resources and expertise that can help them navigate the complex and rapidly evolving landscape. In addition, joining the ecosystem gives them the opportunity to network with potential partners and customers, and to showcase their work to a wider audience.

“The UAE is the perfect amalgamation of Talent and Capital built on a world class Infrastructure,” said Saqr Ereiqat, Co-Founder of Crypto Oasis. “The Ministry of Economy(MoE) has become one of the first Government entities in the world to be active in the metaverse. In 2022 the MoE published its Digital Economy Strategy which aims to double the contribution of digital economy from 9.7% to 19.4% in the next decade. The inception of regulators like VARA and various industry events like the Abu Dhabi Finance Week and Dubai Fintech Week, as well as the launch of the Dubai Economic Agenda “D33″, demonstrate UAE’s commitment in taking an active step to becoming the centre of digital economy globally.”

In the inaugural version of the Crypto Oasis Ecosystem Report 2022, published in partnership with Roland Berger in October’22, identified 1,450+ Web3 organisations in the UAE at the end of Q3 2022. This report aimed to establish the first quantitative and qualitative study of the Crypto Oasis ecosystem. Commenting on the growth of the Ecosystem, Pierre Samaties, Partner and Global Head of Crypto Economy and Web3 at Roland Berger, a top tier strategy consulting firm said: “The UAE is uniquely positioned to play a leading role in the global innovation economy. The growth of the Crypto Oasis Ecosystem will continue in the coming months as we can already witness how regulators in the region are welcoming innovation and disruption, making it simpler for Blockchain-related companies to secure licenses and operate.”

The Crypto Oasis Ecosystem is dedicated to building and strengthening the infrastructure for decentralised technologies in this region. The Ecosystem fosters collaboration and intends to pool resources and expertise to create a more robust and resilient environment to build, create and operate. The Web3 Ecosystem serves the needs of all of its members and has a positive impact on the wider community by helping drive innovation related to decentralised technology. New members of the ecosystem will have the opportunity to contribute to this effort and shape the direction of Web3 development in our region.
