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.

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.
WebShield is a cybersecurity company developing a decentralized platform for managing digital identities and securing online communications. Its mission is to bring improve trust and privacy on the internet by providing individuals and businesses with the tools to control their own data.
The core of WebShield's service is its "Trust-as-a-Service" platform, which is built on the principles of self-sovereign identity (SSI). It includes a suite of tools for issuing and verifying Verifiable Credentials, which are digital versions of physical documents such as passports and driver's licenses. The platform is designed to be compliant with a wide range of industry standards, including those from the Trust over IP Foundation, the W3C, and the OpenID Foundation. A key use case for WebShield's technology is in securing the Internet of Things (IoT), where it can be used to create a secure and trusted environment for machine-to-machine communication.
WebShield is built on Hedera's distributed ledger technology, which is used to provide an immutable and auditable record of all identity-related transactions.

Starling Lab for Data Integrity is an academic research center that operates at the intersection of cryptography, decentralized web protocols, and the humanities. A joint initiative between the USC Shoah Foundation and Stanford University's Department of Electrical Engineering, the lab's mission is to develop and prototype tools and principles to establish trust in digital records. In an era of rampant misinformation and AI-generated content, Starling Lab is pioneering new methods to securely capture, store, and verify digital media.
The core of their work is the Starling Framework for Data Integrity, a comprehensive, open-source methodology for authenticating digital content. This framework is built on three pillars: Capture, which involves creating a chain of custody from the moment a photo or video is taken, Store, which uses decentralized networks like IPFS and Filecoin to securely distribute and preserve content, and Verify, which leverages immutable ledgers to register and audit the provenance of digital assets. This end-to-end approach has been applied in various real-world scenarios, from documenting the 78 days of the 2020 U.S. presidential transition with Reuters to preserving the USC Shoah Foundation's archive of 55,000 holocaust testimonies.
