In parallel to working on the technology, Nuklai's team has also been busy preparing to extend its ecosystem through partnerships and client relationships. With this first Business Development update, we’re kickstarting our first regular update, with some exciting news.

Invitation to Join Mercedes Benz, Porsche, and Bosch at an Exclusive Startup Accelerator

Startup Autobahn's accelerator has been nurturing startups for one of the biggest global industries: German car manufacturers. Being selected as one of the few startup attendees, with the unique opportunity to connect with the likes of DXC, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Bosch, is a significant opportunity for Nuklai. The ability to showcase our product, and vision, and conduct workshops with these globally established enterprises is important and a sign that Nuklai's ecosystem resonates with enterprises.

Nuklai’s Appearance at Plug and Play’s Silicon Valley Event

Reflecting on the past year, a standout achievement was Nuklai's pitch at the main stage of the AI and Data Summit at Plug and Play Tech Centre in Silicon Valley. Amid major tech companies, we presented Nuklai's proposition to venture capitalists and corporate partners, achieving significant exposure and brand awareness. This effort laid the groundwork for building a pipeline of organizations that have the potential to join Nuklai's ecosystem.

Partnership with Smart Wallet Provider Brillion 

We also announced a strategic partnership with Brillion, a rapidly rising Web3 smart wallet. Brillion will officially support Nuklai's layer 1 blockchain. Builders like Brillion are important for a healthy ecosystem that Nuklai would need to thrive. Brillion offers a user-friendly wallet, with features like account recovery, social/biometric login, banking integrations and spending rule adjustments, to facilitate user (individual or enterprise) adoption within and outside the Web3 community.

Additionally, Brillion's upcoming V1 will provide Nuklai users access to connections with over 5,000 financial institutions, offering a comprehensive banking-level user experience for our app. The integration prioritizes a self-custodial approach, enhancing security and setting new standards in the smart wallet landscape. Brillion's integration with NexeraID's on-chain identity verification infrastructure ensures regulatory compliance and user security, making Nuklai appealing to enterprise and institutional clients.

Significant Interest from IT Industry Prospects

Before sharing some key learnings, we are excited to share ongoing opportunities that, due to confidentiality agreements, will not yet be disclosed in this update. There is substantial interest from professional services parties, particularly those providing workforce solutions in IT and strategy. Their interest in partnering, utilizing our platform, and implementing it underscores Nuklai's relevance, extending beyond specific domains and geographic locations.

Additionally, we observe a significant interest from companies generating data on request. While they may view Nuklai as an additional revenue stream for their old data, it holds immense value for anyone using Nuklai, offering a goldmine of new insights. Special thanks to SSA Group -and others that will soon be disclosed- for taking this early step; we are confident this marks the beginning of developing new business models on Nuklai.

Key Learnings: Companies Need Education on the Value of Their Data

Throughout our business development efforts, there have also been valuable lessons that we can’t ignore. Perhaps the most significant insight is the realization that companies often underestimate the value of their data, especially when it does not involve personal data. Contrary to this assumption, data holds immense value beyond personal identifiers. 

Take a call centre, for example; by sharing a dataset indicating the timing of ‘difficult’ calls, claim requests, male/female caller information for challenging topics, and correlating this with traffic or weather data, we could potentially predict caller emotions based on external factors. While establishing this understanding of the potential of data requires groundwork, but the opportunity for Nuklai's ecosystem is significant.

The coming weeks you can expect several announcements around the partners Nuklai agreed to collaborate with to further extends its ecosystem.

Stay tuned for the next business development update - in the meantime, you can engage with our team on X and on Telegram.
