MIOO Technology provides an enterprise-grade platform that connects physical products to the digital world through unique, verifiable digital identities. It specializes in creating Digital Product Passports (DPP), which enable users to track products through QR codes or NFC tags connected directly to a product or its label and secured on the immutable Hedera blockchain network giving them access to a wealth of information about the status of their goods.
The platform is designed to help brands, particularly in the luxury, fashion, and art sectors, combat counterfeiting and prepare for upcoming regulations like the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). The DPP can house detailed data on a product's materials, origin, carbon footprint, and repair history, promoting transparency and sustainability. For consumers, this digital identity serves as an undeniable certificate of authenticity and ownership. For brands, it opens a direct channel for post-sale customer engagement and provides valuable insights into the product lifecycle.
MIOO's technology is active in the micromobility sector with MIOO Cycling, an initiative supported by EIT Urban Mobility. This service uses the DPP to track a bicycle's entire lifecycle, including service history and ownership transfers.
Taskbar is a decentralized freelance marketplace and gig-economy platform built on the Hedera blockchain network. It connects clients with freelancers for on-demand tasks and services in a more efficient, transparent, and equitable Web3 environment.

Taskbar facilitates payments in HBAR, USDC, and other Hedera-based tokens, enabling near-instant settlement directly to a freelancer's wallet.

It also boasts a gamified reputation system implemented to build trust and incentivize positive user behavior.
To enhance transparency and trust, Taskbar utilizes the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create an immutable and auditable log of all critical platform activities, including task creation, proposals, and reviews. This forms the basis of a verifiable on-chain reputation system for freelancers.
