Minima, the pioneering decentralized layer 1 blockchain for embedded systems, announces its partnership with Siemens Cre8Ventures. The collaboration brings groundbreaking artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, data integrity, and decentralized trust mechanisms to the Siemens Cre8Ventures Digital Twin Marketplace. This partnership will strengthen industry-specific security solutions and support the European Union (EU) Chips Act's sovereignty goals, ensuring European technology independence and leadership in next-generation digital ecosystems.

Minima's technology will be integrated into the Digital Twin Marketplace, which focuses on critical industry sectors such as robotics, automotive, energy, and healthcare equipment. The partnership aims to address critical unmet needs in these industries and provide startups and industry leaders with an advanced testing and validation environment to rapidly deploy new technologies.

Industries such as automotive, energy, healthcare, and robotics are becoming increasingly reliant on connected systems and autonomous technology, making them susceptible to cyberattacks and data breaches. Minima's embedded blockchain directly addresses these vulnerabilities by enabling devices to independently verify transactions, maintain tamper-proof records, and perform useful work within the blockchain network without relying on centralized infrastructure.

In the automotive sector, Minima will facilitate the creation of secure vehicle logs, sensor data, and over-the-air (OTA) updates, reducing attack surfaces and ensuring trusted data exchange between original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), suppliers, and service providers.

In the energy sector, Minima-powered smart meters, substations, and energy management systems operating as full nodes will ensure continuous grid operation even during cyberattacks or outages, eliminating single points of failure.

Minima will also protect sensitive patient data, ensure medical device integrity, and create transparent, immutable audit trails for regulatory compliance and supply chain verification in the healthcare equipment industry.

The Siemens Cre8Ventures Digital Twin Marketplace provides an advanced testing and validation environment, enabling startups and industry leaders in automotive, energy, and healthcare to de-risk and rapidly deploy new technologies. Minima's technology will further enhance digital twin security and verification processes.

This partnership also supports the sovereignty goals of the EU Chips Act, which aims to fortify Europe's semiconductor and digital infrastructure. The partnership between Siemens Cre8Ventures and Minima will contribute to reducing reliance on external actors and ensure Europe's technological independence and leadership in next-generation digital ecosystems.

"Our Siemens Cre8Ventures partnership with Minima brings a first-of-a-kind decentralized security layer to the Digital Twin Marketplace, ensuring trusted data integrity and resilience in automotive, energy, healthcare, and robotics. By integrating Minima's blockchain technology, we are not only addressing critical security challenges but also reinforcing Europe's sovereignty in next-generation digital ecosystems. Together, we are setting new benchmarks for secure, AI-driven, and data-powered industries," said Carson Bradbury, Co-founder of Siemens Cre8Ventures.

"We are thrilled to partner with Siemens to bring blockchain-based security to industries where trust, compliance, and data integrity are paramount," added Hugo Feiler, CEO of Minima. "This collaboration represents a significant step toward embedding decentralized security across critical sectors and driving the future of secure, connected ecosystems."

Siemens AG (Berlin and Munich) is a global technology powerhouse that has stood for engineering excellence, innovation, quality, and reliability for more than 175 years. The company is active worldwide, focusing on intelligent infrastructure for buildings and distributed energy systems, automation, and digitalization in the process and manufacturing industries, and smart mobility solutions for rail and road transport. Siemens is a leader in industrial digitalization and supports its customers with comprehensive solutions for driving the digital transformation of their industries.

Minima, the embedded blockchain, is a fully decentralized blockchain network designed for real-world applications. Its lightweight architecture enables full nodes to run on mobile and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, making it a natural fit for scaling decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) and Agent-managed physical infrastructure (DePAI). Minima's community of over 50,000 node operators showcases its commitment to securing digital solutions in a decentralized world.

The partnership between Minima and Siemens Cre8Ventures will bring together the strengths of both organizations to create innovative and secure technologies that will benefit society as a whole.
