Blockchain company AID:Tech secures investment from Enterprise Ireland and SGInnovate

AID:Tech, a company that changes how governments, enterprises, and NGOs deliver digital entitlements, has announced simultaneous investments from Enterprise Ireland, and SGInnovate.The announcement signifies the first time both Irish and Singapore state-backed organizations have invested in a blockchain company.

Founded in 2014, AID:Tech was the first company in the world to deliver international aid using blockchain technology. In a recent project in Tripoli, Northern Lebanon, the company utilized their platform to transparently deliver aid to Syrian refugees. AID:Tech’s platform enables entitlements like aid, welfare, remittances, donations, and healthcare to be digitized and delivered through  blockchain technology in a completely transparent manner, helping governments and corporates to tackle some of the most entrenched issues in their fields.

[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”Eoin Fitzgerald, Senior Advisor for Fintech for Enterprise Ireland” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=”17″]“By harnessing blockchain technology in the humanitarian sector and addressing obstacles in global development including legal identity and social and financial inclusion, AID:Tech reflects the level of world-class blockchain solutions which are emerging from Ireland. Our investment not only marks a state-backed effort to lead on blockchain development across Ireland, but also showcases the faith we have in AID:Tech’s ambitious, innovative project.”  [/perfectpullquote]

Enterprise Ireland is Ireland’s national export agency, responsible for the development and growth of Irish enterprises in world markets. In addition to its investment in Aid:Tech, this week Enterprise Ireland launched a new €750,000 competitive start fund for fintech and deeptech start-up companies that have the capacity to succeed in global markets.

SGInnovate, a government-owned firm nurturing deep tech startups in Singapore, is enabling ambitious and capable individuals and teams to imagine, start, build, and scale globally-relevant technologies. Backing entrepreneurs through equity-based investments, access to talent, and support for building customer traction, SGInnovate focuses predominantly on healthcare, resources, transportation, artificial intelligence, robotics, and blockchain technology.

AID:Tech is using blockchain technology to enable new levels of transparency, accountability, and efficiency to the vital work of getting humanitarian aid to those who need it the most. AID:Tech represents a perfect combination of an exciting technology being applied to an important human need.” [/perfectpullquote]

In addition to Enterprise Ireland and SGInnovate, Blue Parasol Investments, Tin Fu Fund, and BlockAsset Ventures are also investing in AID:Tech.
