[Campaign Category] Category Questions

Who you’re targeting, how you’ll reach them, and why this matters for Cardano?

Who:

Our primary targets are industry-defining enterprises within two core mobility sectors:

1. Automotive & Tier-1 Suppliers: Major OEMs like Daimler and key suppliers such as Bosch and Continental, who are navigating challenges such as the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz) and need robust, verifiable supply chain solutions.
2. Rail & Public Transport: Major rail operators like Alstom and Deutsche Bahn, who require trusted solutions for asset management, maintenance logging, and ticketing.

How:

We will bypass the noise of cold outreach by leveraging our established network and status as a "Trusted Advisor" to key industry players. Our approach is to utilize our internal CRM and direct relationships to invite decision-makers from existing and past clients to exclusive "Innovation Briefings" (our workshops), ensuring high-level attendance and engagement.

Why:

Attracting a single major enterprise like Bosch or Alstom to build on Cardano provides an unparalleled return on investment for the ecosystem. The consistent, high-value, and predictable transaction volume from one enterprise solution, such as managing maintenance logs for a rail fleet or tracking battery components for an OEM, can far exceed the activity of thousands of individual retail users. This validates Cardano as a robust enterprise-grade platform, establishes a powerful success story to attract other industrial players, and creates a ripple effect of credibility and adoption across the entire global mobility sector.

Provide a list of key activities of your project:

Industry Analysis: Deep dive into mobility and transportation blockchain opportunities (≥5 use cases).

[Your Project and Solution] Solution

Please describe your proposed solution and how it addresses the problem

Mobility and transportation sectors face inefficiencies from fragmented data systems, limited interoperability, and insecure credential management, hindering seamless multi-modal transit and logistics optimization.

The mobility and transportation sector—encompassing Automotive, Rail, and Public Infrastructure—faces a "Data Crisis of Industry 4.0." These industries are paralyzed by a critical knowledge gap: while they urgently need to digitize supply chains to meet regulations like the EU Digital Product Passport (DPP) and ensure safety-critical asset transparency, they lack the strategic understanding of how decentralized technologies can deliver this without compromising efficiency, costs, security and safety. Current centralized solutions create data silos, leading to "Provenace Gaps" where enterprises lose visibility of components, resulting in for example, inefficiencies, counterfeit risks, and compliance failures.

The solution is a structured, high-value educational and consulting program designed to overcome the inertia in the mobility and transportation industry regarding blockchain adoption. It addresses the problem (knowledge gap and lack of strategy) by providing two core deliverables:

Strategic Executive Track (The "Why"): We deliver workshops for decision makers at major Rail Operators (e.g., Deutsche Bahn, Altstom), OEMs (e.g., Daimler, Audi), and Tier-1 Suppliers.

• Focus: Tailored workshops for decision makers focus on the "Why" of blockchain for competitive advantage and business model innovation in mobility. We address the specific pain points of multi-modal transport: secure data exchange between trains and cars (V2X), immutable maintenance logs for safety audits (Rail), and supply chain transparency for battery passports (Auto).
• Outcome: Executives gain the strategic confidence to authorize Proofs of Concept (PoCs).

Technical Implementation Track (The "How"): We provide deep-dive seminars for Systems Engineers, Safety Managers, and IT Architects.

• Focus: We map Cardano’s unique features to industry standards. We demonstrate that Cardanos technology offers for safety-critical systems and how Native Assets allow for "Digital Twins" of millions of parts without complex smart contracts.
• Outcome: Raising general awareness

By combining INVENSITY's deep industry expertise with targeted Cardano education, the solution ensures the information is relevant, compliant with industry standards, and immediately applicable to real-world challenges like multi-modal transit, logistics, and secure data exchange.

[Your Project and Solution] Impact

Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community

The positive impact focuses on enterprise-grade growth and validation:

1. Cardano as an Enterprise Leader: Successfully engaging major mobility and transportation players will position Cardano as a leading, credible blockchain platform for complex, regulated, and high-value enterprise applications. This success story is a powerful marketing tool.
2. Ecosystem Growth and Network Effects: The project will directly facilitate connections between major corporations and relevant Cardano ecosystem projects (e.g., identity, supply chain tooling), driving technical innovation and development within the ecosystem to meet enterprise demands.
3. Onboarding High-Value Users: By inspiring confidence in Cardano-based solutions, the initiative will motivate professionals in the mobility sector to explore and utilize on-chain activities, onboarding a new segment of high-value, enterprise users to the Cardano ecosystem.
4. Open-Source Contribution: The release of high-quality, industry-specific educational materials as open source will provide a valuable, reusable resource for future community members targeting the mobility and transportation sector globally.

[Your Project and Solution] Capabilities & Feasibility

What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?

INVENSITY is an ISO-certified innovation consultancy with 250+ employees and active Master Service Agreements (MSAs) with major German OEMs and Rail Operators. We are "in the room" where these decisions happen.

• Deep Industry Expertise: Our team has a unique convergence of deep mobility/transportation industry experience and blockchain capabilities, with extensive networks among public and private operators, OEMs, and Tier-1 suppliers.
• Proven Track Record: We have a proven track record of delivering complex technology and IT integration projects in regulated sectors, including expertise in stringent safety and compliance standards.
• Dedicated Blockchain Expertise: The team includes dedicated Blockchain and Cybersecurity Experts with hands-on experience across multiple blockchain platforms, including Cardano, ensuring technical accuracy.

Feasibility Validation: Feasibility is validated through a structured process:

1. Risk Mitigation: We focus on non-speculative, compliance-friendly use cases (e.g., supply chain provenance, verifiable credentials for ticketing) to mitigate industry conservatism and regulatory complexity.
2. Phased Milestones: The 6-month project is broken into four distinct, verifiable milestones. Each has clear, measurable Acceptance Criteria and Evidence of Completion (e.g., published reports) for continuous validation and accountability.
3. Existing Network Leverage: Reliance on INVENSITY's existing corporate network in the transportation and infrastructure sectors significantly de-risks the outreach and engagement phase, ensuring we secure the target number of participants.
