SINGAPORE, Nov. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Infineon partners with Tribe, the first Singapore Government supported blockchain ecosystem builder, which brings together government agencies, corporates and blockchain companies to foster innovation and collaboration. Infineon will provide its longstanding industry expertise in hardware security solutions and can help companies seeking to apply blockchain to discover the competitive advantages of Infineon's SECORA™ Blockchain security solutions. Selected start-ups developing applications using SECORA™ Blockchain will have the opportunity to collaborate with Infineon in time-to-market and customer development as partners at the Infineon Co-Innovation Space.
As a hardware-based solution SECORA Blockchain has a decisive advantage over other blockchain access options: It withstands both hardware- and software-based attacks and can only be attacked and manipulated with a very high, financially unprofitable effort.
"Blockchain is moving beyond Fintech into areas as diverse as logistics, brand protection, online shopping and gaming platforms. Tribe's OpenNodes give us access to a vibrant blockchain ecosystem and allow Infineon to showcase our SECORA™ Blockchain Security Solutions." Said Goh Say Yeow, Vice President, Connected Secure Systems, Infineon Technologies Asia Pacific Pte Ltd. "We are honoured to be part of Tribe and are excited to collaborate with them on several fronts, such as supporting OpenNodes-led initiatives as a founding member and working with Tribe Academy to identify promising tech talents. I look forward to explore business opportunities together in the emerging blockchain verticals with leading ecosystem players."
"Driving ecosystem collaboration is a key priority for Tribe as we look to advance blockchain's capabilities and its deployment across industries. As we witness a surge in industry ready solutions based on blockchain, security continues to be a key consideration and differentiator for blockchain companies. With Infineon we have a partner that is well positioned to secure blockchain applications and strengthen trust in the technology," said, Joseph Lim, Head of Global Business Development, Tribe. "We hope to drive Singapore's agenda to be a hotbed for blockchain innovations and real-world application, as we continue to identify and fill the gaps in the industry."
