- As part of the partnership between BEEAH and The Hashgraph, the Hedera-backed IDTrust platform will initially be implemented internally for employee and partner identity management.
- With this implementation, BEEAH establishes itself as MENA's leader in decentralized identity solutions and demonstrates secure digital authentication powered by Hedera.
The Hashgraph Group (THG), a Swiss-based Web3 technology engineering company that is also part of the Hedera ecosystem, has collaborated with UAE-based BEEAH Group to introduce the region's first decentralized digital identity (DID) solution. This enables unified and secure access to digital identities across BEEAH's diverse services and businesses.
BEEAH partners with Hedera to launch enterprise-grade identity platform
BEEAH, a UAE-based diversified group, has partnered with Hashgraph Association (THA) under its Enterprise Accelerator Program to introduce IDTrust, Hedera's enterprise-grade self-sovereign identity platform built on distributed ledger technology (DLT). As mentioned in our previous post, Hashgraph Group supported a similar e-ID initiative in Switzerland, leveraging Hedera's ID Trust solution.
This deployment represents a significant milestone in BEEAH's digital transformation journey, which aims to establish a connected, trusted and privacy-focused ecosystem across core sectors. This includes environmental services, energy, real estate, technology, and healthcare.
The rollout of IDTrust will follow a phased approach starting with BEEAH's internal operations, including employee and partner identity management. It will then be expanded to all BEEAH organizations and initiatives, including smart real estate communities, healthcare facilities, and environmental services platforms.
In subsequent stages, BEEAH will explore broader collaboration with UAE government agencies and stakeholders across the city. This positions the company as a regional leader in decentralized identity deployments. Kamal Yousefi, chairman of the Hashgraph Association, said of the development:
“Supported by the Hedera Management Council, THA's mission is to drive widespread adoption and utilization of Hedera around the world. The MENA region continues to demonstrate innovative leadership in implementing cutting-edge digital technologies through strategic partnerships like BEEAH and THG. This reflects the continuation and affirmation of Hedera's long-term commitment to empowering businesses and government agencies not only within the UAE, but across the UAE and beyond.” ”
Using the IDTrust Platform for Self-Sovereignty
BEEAH plans to implement the enterprise-grade IDTrust platform as a secure, privacy-first self-sovereign identity (SSI) solution across its operations and ecosystem. Developed and operated by The Hashgraph Group (THG), IDTrust leverages quantum-secure cryptography to verify identities and enable trusted issuance of credentials, KYC checks, and more.
This deployment positions BEEAH as a regional leader in decentralized identity solutions. Learn how Hedera-powered technology can drive secure and efficient digital authentication and support sustainable innovation in governance and services.
According to Grandview Research, the global decentralized digital identity market was valued at USD 647.8 million in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 102 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 90.3%.
