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.

Agryo is a global financial technology (AgriFintech) company that operates as a risk intelligence platform for the agricultural sector. Its core mission is to solve critical challenges in agricultural finance by providing data-driven risk analysis, which helps de-risk farming operations and facilitates access to credit and insurance for farmers, particularly small and medium-sized producers.

‍

The platform leverages advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence and satellite imagery analysis, to process over 500 different data variables for any given crop field. This comprehensive analysis generates a dynamic risk score and a "digital twin" of the farm, offering lenders and insurers a clear, data-backed understanding of the operation's viability and potential yield. 

‍

Agryo is built on the Hedera network. The platform uses the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create an immutable and publicly auditable log of its risk assessments and crop monitoring reports. By anchoring these critical data points to the Hedera public ledger, Agryo provides financial institutions with verifiable proof that the information they are using for underwriting decisions is authentic and has not been tampered with, fostering greater confidence and unlocking capital for farmers worldwide.
