already
secured
partnerships
with
global
leaders
in
the
telecommunications
sector,
including

Deutsche
Telekom
and

stc
Bahrain,
demonstrating
the
blockchain’s
capability
to
meet
the

from
various
industries:

• PairpointPairpoint”>
  
  Pairpoint
  (A
  Vodafone
  and
  Sumitomo
  Company):
  Born
  from
  two
  leading
  multinationals,
  Vodafone
  and
  Sumitomo,
  Pairpoint
  enables
  devices
  to
  act
  as
  autonomous
  ‘economic
  agents’,
  allowing
  them
  to
  transact
  directly
  between
  them
  to
  create
  better
  user
  experiences.
  For
  example,
  electric
  cars
  can
  pay
  for
  their
  energy,
  delivery
  trucks
  can
  sell
  spare
  capacity,
  or
  smart
  meters
  can
  sell
  their
  solar
  production
  to
  their
  neighbors.

  API,
  which
  could
  revolutionize
  how
  users
  interact
  with
  blockchain
  technologies
  on
  mobile
  devices.

“At
Pairpoint,
we’re
exploring
privacy-focused
technologies
in
the

‘Economy
of
