The Next-Gen Enterprise and Opportunity Navigator (NEON) program will support global enterprises on their journey into web3, fostering innovation and widespread adoption of blockchain technology.

The Aleph Zero Foundation, a pioneer in privacy-enhancing blockchain infrastructure, announces the launch of its NEON Program, a comprehensive initiative designed to support enterprises from various sectors in harnessing the power of blockchain technology. The program will deliver dedicated resources, expert guidance, and ease of access to innovative technology to facilitate deeper integration of privacy-enhancing blockchain technology across various business use cases.

The NEON Program goes beyond traditional enterprise support by offering a comprehensive suite of resources tailored to each member's unique needs and ambitions in the web3 space. At its core, the program provides a team of dedicated business and technical experts who work closely with members to navigate the complexities of web3 integration. 

The program caters to a wide range of companies, from those taking their first steps into web3 to seasoned players. This hands-on approach is complemented by a wealth of educational resources, in-depth workshops, and tailored support designed to keep members at the forefront of market and tech developments. The NEON Program empowers enterprises to adapt to the evolving digital landscape and actively shape it by fostering connections with industry experts and exploring potential new revenue streams through ecosystem participation.

"Blockchain technology is rapidly expanding into diverse industries, powering an ever-growing array of use cases," said Antoni Zolciak, Co-founder of Aleph Zero. "As this landscape evolves, businesses need expert guidance to navigate and harness this technology effectively. We're incredibly proud to launch the NEON Program, offering tailored support that empowers enterprises at all stages of blockchain adoption. Our goal is to foster innovation, drive adoption, and help businesses unlock the full potential of web3 in their operations."

Strategic Partnerships Across Industries

Aleph Zero has already secured partnerships with global leaders in the telecommunications sector, including Deutsche Telekom and stc Bahrain, demonstrating the blockchain’s capability to meet the rigorous demands of large-scale operations. The program is expanding to include companies and organizations from various industries:

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 with each other 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.

CAMARA Foundation (Linux Foundation)

Launched in 2021 under the Linux Foundation and GSMA, the CAMARA Project aims to standardize APIs for telecommunications networks. Aleph Zero joined as the first blockchain General Member to develop and contribute to blockchain-specific initiatives. A key focus of this collaboration is the Blockchain Public Address API, which could revolutionize how users interact with blockchain technologies on mobile devices.

"At Pairpoint, we're exploring privacy-focused technologies in the evolving 'Economy of Things,' where devices are becoming smarter and more autonomous," said Siva Balasuriyar, CFO and Web3 Lead at Pairpoint. "Joining the NEON program provides Pairpoint with the resources and partnerships we need to strengthen our own knowledge while collaborating with Aleph Zero and others in navigating this groundbreaking landscape. Supported by this partnership, Pairpoint will deploy and operate validator nodes to enhance the resilience and security of the blockchain infrastructure."
