Brand Story: The human race has undergone major technological revolutions throughout history. We are at the brink of the most significant revolution to date, one where technology, networks, and the operationalization of data becomes ubiquitously integrated in our societies with unprecedented processing power, data storage capabilities, and most importantly, the ability to access volumes of high impact knowledge and execution of new ideas. Our futures will be most greatly impacted by the tight coupling and integration of the physical, knowledge, and spiritual worlds.

The merging of these worlds is predicated on the strong interaction amongst humans, machines, and organizations as they have a perpetual need to conduct transactions. Those transactions can represent the exchange or transfer of instruments of value or just data. Fundamentally, those interactions and transactions serve as the basis of economic activity, representing the atomic condition for the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services.

The combination of next-generation technologies such as blockchain and artificial intelligence have begun to unlock capabilities in intelligent prediction and trust mechanics by providing enhanced transparency, security, and traceability while simultaneously making the data smarter. The advent of smart contracts that live on blockchain technology has, for one of the first times in human history, created programmable logic that represents both a potential unit of monetary value as well as data with unique and valuable behavioral traits. These next-generation technologies are truly remarkable testaments of our ability to empower innovative ideas.

With the belief and expectation that humans perpetually use their ability to reason to more efficiently use energy and resources, there is nothing more valuable than an idea. Ideas foster creativity and innovation — both essential to the future progress of mankind. Data, patterns, knowledge and the plans of action are what bring ideas to reality. Innovative ideas only become reality when they integrate with actual business use cases.

And hence, the combination of the idea and the field of economics, yields ideanomics — a new paradigm and model for solving problems, creating efficiencies, and more equitably distributing wealth and knowledge. Ideas create value. Without ideas, there is no future. Ideanomics, we are digitizing tomorrow!
