Partnerships

SingularityNET

HARA has teamed up with SingularityNET, an AI (artificial intelligence) company who provided multiple AI modules for the Sophia robot. HARA and SingularityNET have a shared vision of data entrepreneurship and aim to improve the value of the ecosystems for the stakeholders. SingularityNET’s role in the partnership is a perfect fit in the HARA Ecosystem as a Value Added Service. They will provide new insights by processing the data from the HARA Data Exchange.

MIT G-Lab Internship

In January, we welcomed four second-year MBA students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Sloan School of Management to our office for a 5-month program. For the third year in a row, HARA was hand-picked to participate in MIT’s Global Entrepreneurship Lab, in which a group of their top students spend 5 months to assist selected companies on real business cases.

This year the students worked on our strategy for international expansion and token stabilization. The team helped to determine which potential regions and partners HARA should target in the upcoming years.

BNI Roadshows

HARA joined BNI on their roadshow to five different cities across Indonesia. The main topic for the roadshow was the current progress of BNI’s goal to disburse more Kredit Usaha Rakyat (subsidized microcredit program from the government). The events welcomed numerous BNI staff from across the country, eagerly awaiting their turn to present their progress.

HARA helps BNI to smoothen the verification & loan management process. The data collected by HARA also helps BNI to make a better-informed decision on its loan disbursement and approval process. In our current pilot project with BNI, we have a payback rate of 100%.
