Emtech is a financial technology company that provides a full-stack Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) platform for central banks and other financial regulators. Its purpose is to equip its clients with tools to issue their own digital currencies and to empower these institutions to lead innovation in financial services while ensuring regulatory compliance and stability.
The company’s offerings are centered around two key products. The first is its CBDC Core Solution, which provides the underlying technology for a central bank to mint, distribute, and manage a digital currency. The second is its innovative Digital Regulatory Sandbox, a controlled environment where fintechs and other financial service providers can build and test new applications using the CBDC, all under the direct oversight of the regulator. This collaborative approach helps bridge the gap between innovators and policymakers.
Emtech has a significant partnership with Hedera, having announced that its CBDC platform is built on the Hedera public ledger. By leveraging Hedera's high-throughput, secure, and low-energy network, Emtech can offer central banks a highly resilient and auditable infrastructure for their digital currency operations.

Otrafy is a technology company developing a platform to streamline and automate supply chain management, with a strong focus on food safety and compliance. Its mission is to create a more transparent and efficient supply chain by providing a centralized system for managing documents, tracking products, and collaborating with suppliers.
The core of Otrafy's offering is its supplier management platform. This service provides a suite of tools that allow businesses to automate the collection and verification of supplier documents, ensuring that all suppliers meet the necessary compliance and quality standards. Key features of the platform include automated document requests, real-time tracking of supplier compliance, and a centralized repository for all supply chain data.
Otrafy uses the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create an immutable and auditable record of all supply chain events, from the initial sourcing of raw materials to the final delivery of finished goods. This provides a "single source of truth" for all stakeholders in the supply chain, enhancing transparency and traceability.
W3C Decentralised Identifiers (DIDs) are a new type of globally unique identifier designed to enable verifiable, decentralised digital identity. As a formal web standard published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the DID architecture is a foundational component for building a more secure and user-centric internet.
Unlike traditional identifiers such as email addresses or usernames, DIDs are not tied to any centralised registry or company. This means that individuals and organisations can create and control their own identifiers, giving them "self-sovereign" control over their digital identities. The core of the system is the DID Document, a JSON file that contains the cryptographic keys and service endpoints associated with a DID. This document is stored on a distributed ledger or other decentralised network, allowing for secure and verifiable interactions.
The Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) is used to create a tamper-proof and auditable log of all DID-related events, such as creation, updates, and revocation.
Medical Value Chain (MVC) is a Bahrain-based subsidiary of AVC Global. It provides a track-and-trace platform for pharmaceutical supply chains to ensure regulatory compliance and combat counterfeit drugs. MVC's innovative financial model is funded by the pharmaceutical industry, meaning there is no cost to governments or citizens.
MVC's core product is the SmartPass, a platform built on a dual-blockchain architecture that integrates with GS1 global serialisation standards. This technology creates a transparent and immutable record of pharmaceutical products as they move through the supply chain, from manufacturer to consumer. SmartPass is designed to provide "absolute transparency," protecting against counterfeit medications, improving supply chain efficiency, and reducing fraud. A key component of this system is the OneScan feature, which allows for the verification of product authenticity.
The company utilises the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create a verifiable and auditable log of all supply chain events. This "dual immutable distributed ledger technology" provides a high level of security and transparency, ensuring the integrity of the data.
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. It acts as an alternative to traditional freelance websites by addressing issues such as high commission fees and slow payment settlements.
Taskbar facilitates payments in HBAR, USDC, and other Hedera-based tokens, enabling near-instant settlement directly to a freelancer's wallet. A key feature is its on-chain escrow system, where funds for a job are locked in a smart contract and released automatically upon successful completion of the task, ensuring security for both parties. 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.
