Carbon Central, developed by Australian tech firm NoviQTech, is an enterprise-grade software platform designed to help large organizations manage the complexities of carbon accounting and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting. The platform provides a unified, end-to-end solution for companies to measure, analyze, and report on their environmental footprint, particularly their Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon emissions. It aims to replace disparate spreadsheets and manual data collection methods with a single, auditable system of record.

‍

The platform is built on the Hedera network, leveraging its technology to bring a high level of integrity and trust to the ESG data management process. A key feature of Carbon Central is its use of the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create an immutable and verifiable audit trail. As enterprises input emissions data, supplier information, and other critical ESG metrics into the platform, a cryptographic hash of that data is submitted to the Hedera public ledger. This process provides a tamper-proof timestamp and a transparent, auditable record that can be securely shared with and verified by regulators, investors, and other stakeholders.

Meeco is a data privacy and digital identity company founded in 2012. Headquartered in Australia, with offices in the UK and Belgium, Meeco's mission is to empower individuals with control over their personal data, enabling them to get value in exchange for what they share. 

‍

Meeco's core product is the Secure Value Exchange (SVX) platform, a suite of infrastructure tools for managing verifiable credentials, decentralised identity, and secure data storage. This includes a white-label digital wallet, a vault for end-to-end encrypted data, and services for managing the entire lifecycle of digital credentials. A key application of this technology is Trustury, an open-source interface designed to bring transparency to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) markets by allowing for the visualization and auditing of sustainability tokens.

‍

Meeco has developed a Decentralised Identifier (DID) SDK for Hedera and uses the Hedera Consensus Service to create verifiable logs. The Trustury platform is built to support the Hedera Guardian, an open-source tool for digitizing and auditing sustainability projects.

Fliggs Mobile is a digital-first, Web3-enabled mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) that aims to bridge the gap between telecommunications and financial services. Its core service is providing flexible, no-contract mobile plans that run on T-Mobile's nationwide 5G network. These plans, managed entirely through the Fliggs Mobile app, include features such as eSIM activation, international roaming passes, and data boosters. 

‍

It also features Web3 integration features including a non-custodial digital wallet built into the app. This wallet enables a loyalty program that rewards users with monthly cashback in Bitcoin or USDC on their service fees.

‍

Fliggs Mobile is built on Hedera's distributed ledger technology, which is used to issue a Decentralised ID (DID) to every user upon activation. This gives customers sovereign control over their digital identity and personal data. The non-custodial wallet also leverages Hedera for its security and functionality, enabling secure cryptocurrency payments and the management of rewards. This integration is supported by The Hashgraph Association, which has provided both funding and technical support to pioneer this convergence of telecom services and decentralised technology.
