Partnership/alliances

Bosch is working with Fetch.ai as part of the launch of a fully functional blockchain network (v2.0 main-net), testing key features on the test-net until the end of February 2021. Sharing a common vision, the strategic advance engineering project “Economy of Things” (EoT) at Bosch Research and Fetch.ai aim to transform existing digital ecosystems using distributed ledger technologies (DLT) like blockchain. Cambridge-based Fetch.ai is also committed to ensuring that artificial intelligence (AI) makes its way into blockchains.

The consortium for the project “Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) for Germany”, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, has established a decentralized identity network and will use this network to implement a wide variety of use cases over the coming months. The consortium is an association of public and private institutions that have set themselves the goal of building an open ecosystem for identity management in Europe. Among the partners is the team of the strategic advance engineering project “Economy of Things” (EoT) of Bosch Research, as one of the most important building blocks for an “Economy of Things” are digital identities – not only for individuals, but also for organizations and autonomously operating devices.
