We are proud to announce our 2-year partnership with the Infocomm Media Development Authority of Singapore (IMDA) to implement a commercial AI and Microservice layer on DataStreamX, powered by Quadrant Protocol.

We will be implementing a Quadrant Protocol powered AI and micro-services framework that will enable data driven innovation and bridges the persistent problems in the data economy; AI data gap, inauthentic data and an unsustainable ecosystem. The goal of the initiative is to foster ground-breaking innovation around the use of data to solve global problems within a sustainable and regulated framework.

This collaboration is important to us and the community for two reasons;

1. The philosophy that drives Quadrant Protocol is our commitment to engaging, empowering and enabling Elons — bright, innovative data scientists — to build innovative solutions using data to solve global problems on the protocol. With this partnership, we will see this happen across industries. Over the next months, we will be onboarding onto the platform data vendors and AI / Microservices providers creating a thriving ecosystem of companies and users.

2. This showcases the commercial opportunity Quadrant Protocol offers. The AI and micro-services layer is a viable implementation that can be used by companies to meet their authentic data needs. Our contract with IMDA showcases our commitment to delivering a commercially viable platform and establishes our utility in the data economy. It is well beyond a proof of concept or prototype.

IMDA and the Singapore government’s initiative is a boon for the many people that will be able to do great work with great data. We are excited to see what is created as the opportunities are tremendous.
