Certara is a global leader in biosimulation, a technology that uses computer models to predict how drugs will behave in the human body. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey, its mission is to accelerate the development of new medicines by transforming the traditional drug discovery and development process.
The company offers a comprehensive suite of software and services that are used by over 2,000 biopharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, and regulatory agencies in 62 countries. Certara's Simcyp Simulator, for example, is a physiologically-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling platform that is widely used to predict drug interactions. In addition to its software, Certara provides a range of consulting services, including regulatory science, market access, and medical writing.
Certara's OpenPharma innovation has developed a decentralized application called Hasharc that is built on the Hedera network and designed to address key challenges in the life sciences industry, such as supply chain security, patient safety, and regulatory compliance.

Hashgraph Application Studio is a specialized no-code/low-code development platform designed to build and deploy enterprise-grade decentralized applications (dApps) on the Hedera network. It is the result of a strategic partnership between Joget Inc., an open-source application development firm, and The HBAR Foundation. The studio essentially provides a Hedera-centric version of the Joget platform, aiming to democratize dApp development by making it accessible to users with limited or no coding expertise.
The platform’s core functionality revolves around a visual, drag-and-drop interface. This allows users to design application workflows, create user interfaces, and manage data without writing extensive code. A key feature is the "Hedera Ledger Pack," a pre-built integration that simplifies complex interactions with Hedera’s native services. Through simple configuration, users can perform on-chain actions such as creating accounts, transferring HBAR and HTS tokens, minting and burning NFTs, and logging data to the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS).
By abstracting the technical complexities of blockchain, the Hashgraph Application Studio significantly accelerates the development lifecycle for Hedera-based projects.
Hyperstack is a Web3 company developing the "Credential Cloud" platform for issuing, managing, and verifying smart, secure, and immutable digital credentials. Its mission is to revolutionize digital identity by providing a no-code, high-impact framework that can be used by a wide range of organizations, from educational institutions to corporations.
The core of Hyperstack's service is its comprehensive credential management platform. This includes a design studio for creating custom-branded digital certificates and badges, tools for issuing credentials at scale, and a secure digital wallet for recipients to store and share their credentials. A key feature of the platform is its robust analytics dashboard, which allows issuers to track engagement with their credentials, providing valuable insights into their reach and impact. The platform is also designed for seamless integration with existing systems, such as Learning Management Systems (LMS) and HR platforms.
Hyperstack's entire platform is built on the Hedera network. It uses the Hedera Token Service (HTS) to mint credentials as NFTs, providing a secure and efficient way to manage their ownership and transfer.
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.
Attestiv is a digital media validation company founded in 2018 to combat the rising threat of deepfakes and AI-generated content. Headquartered in Utah, the company provides solutions for businesses that rely on the authenticity of photos, videos, and documents, with a primary focus on the insurance, cybersecurity, and financial services industries.
The core of Attestiv's offering is its AI-powered platform that analyzes digital media to detect alterations, tampering, and generative AI content. The platform provides a "tamper score" to indicate the likelihood of manipulation and can identify specific anomalies through a forensic scan. This technology is delivered through a suite of products, including APIs and SDKs that can be integrated into existing workflows, as well as a user-friendly dashboard for manual analysis. Attestiv's solutions are designed to automate fraud detection, streamline processes like insurance claims and underwriting, and protect businesses from the reputational and financial risks associated with fake media.
Attestiv uses a distributed ledger to create a "digital fingerprint" that is recorded on the Hedera blockchain network. This allows for the immutable and verifiable timestamping of each asset, ensuring its authenticity can be validated at any point in the future.
