Cask Capital is an investment platform connecting investors with opportunities to own premium whisky casks of the highest quality as well as intrinsically related digital tokenized assets. It positions whisky casks as a tangible alternative asset class and facilitates the purchase of full or fractional ownership of these casks which are often sourced from renowned Scottish distilleries.
A core element of Cask Capital's operation is the use of tokenization utilizing the Hedera blockchain. This allows digital tokenized ownership of real-world casks and enhances transparency and accessibility in the competitive whisky investment market. Once acquired, the physical casks are held in regulated, bonded warehouses in Scotland, where the whisky matures over time. Their clear provenance, aging profile, and value growth make them ideal for fractional ownership on-chain.
Cask Capital provides services for the management and storage of these exclusive, curated assets which are fully-backed and insured. The value of the investment is tied to the maturation process and market demand for aged whisky.

IOWNME is a platform developed by IPrivata, a company focused on data privacy and digital rights. Its designed to provide individuals with a way to assert ownership and control over their personal data, particularly in the context of name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights for athletes.
The core of the IOWNME service is the platform’s Declaration Certificate, a legally-grounded digital certificate that establishes a root proof of authenticity for an individual's data. This certificate links the rights embedded in a patent to an individual's personal information, effectively transforming the enforcement of data privacy from a matter of privacy policy to one of property rights, intellectual property, and contract law. This provides a more robust and proactive framework for individuals to protect and monetize their personal brand and content.
The IOWNME platform is built on the Hedera network. IPrivata is working directly with the Hedera Foundation and Acoer, a DLT developer, to integrate the Declaration Certificate into the Hedera ecosystem.
Demia is a climate infrastructure company that provides a sophisticated technology platform for securing and verifying data in environmental markets, particularly the carbon market. The company’s mission is to increase trust, reduce friction, and unlock value by creating a transparent and auditable foundation for climate data.
The platform is centered around a "Zero-Trust Data Fabric," which ensures that environmental data—whether from on-site IoT sensors or manual inputs—is protected and verifiable from its source. This system creates a secure chain of custody for information, streamlining the complex processes of measurement, reporting, and verification (dMRV).
As a key partner in the Hedera ecosystem, Demia leverages the Hedera Guardian, an open-source framework for auditable ESG assets. This integration allows Demia to anchor its verified data to the Hedera public ledger, creating an immutable record of a project's environmental impact. This is crucial for their clients—including carbon project developers, auditors, and corporate purchasers—who require undeniable proof of climate action to meet regulatory requirements and investor expectations.

GetEnergy is a green fintech company operating a B2B distribution platform for renewable electricity. The company’s core mission is to create a smart and cost-efficient marketplace that connects renewable energy generators directly with suppliers and consumers.
The platform functions by acquiring electricity from renewable generators through Power Purchase Agreements. The acquired electricity is then digitized, or "tokenized," on the company's proprietary platform, where each token represents 1 kWh of energy. This process utilizes proven Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and smart contracts to facilitate the sale and settlement of energy transactions. This DLT-based approach aims to reduce electricity costs by removing traditional intermediaries from the value chain.
Key features of the GetEnergy platform include providing users with “fully traceable green certificates" and guaranteeing transparency and faster settlement times for all transactions. The platform also incorporates advanced AI and machine learning models for forecasting services to optimize energy load and imbalance management.
The IBM Blockchain Platform was a short-term funding and technology project involving the Hedera blockchain network. While this specific project has evolved into an ongoing enterprise blockchain strategy, IBM remains intrinsically involved with the Hedera network as a member of the Hedera Governing Council.
This position provides IBM with a direct voice and vote in the governance of the Hedera public network, influencing its technical roadmap, policies, and overall strategic direction. As a council member, IBM also contributes to the network's operational integrity by running a consensus node.
This engagement with Hedera allows IBM to participate, offer insights and contribute to advancements which align with its broader interests in advancing enterprise-grade distributed ledger solutions (DLT). This involvement complements IBM's extensive work with permissioned blockchains and strengthens the partnership between Hedera and the broader technology industry while providing a holistic perspective on the evolving blockchain landscape for IBM’s global enterprise clients.
