Berliner Tageblatt - Datavault AI to Support Establishment of International Research Center Focused on Real-World Asset Digitization in Taiwan

The collaboration is expected to be structured as an academic and applied research initiative focused on advancing standards, education, and cross-disciplinary collaboration to support the responsible digitization of physical assets through distributed-ledger and data technologies. Datavault AI intends to contribute proprietary software capabilities to help address growing demand for RWA tokenization across the Asia-Pacific region, a market projected to reach approximately $2.5 billion by 2030.

As part of the initiative, Datavault AI expects to support research and pilot activities through its Information Data Exchange® (IDE) and its International Elements Exchange™ (IEE) , which will support secure data attribution, governance, and lifecycle management, as well as VerifyU®, the Company's credentialing and verification framework designed to support identity validation, permissions, and compliance-oriented workflows within academic and applied research environments.

Over time, the facility is expected to serve as a center of excellence for RWA attribution and management. The parties also plan to support the formation of a multi-university alliance in Taiwan, with a longer-term objective of engaging international partner institutions in Europe and the United States. The Center's research agenda is anticipated to encompass regulatory technology standardization, applied asset-digitization use cases, data governance and environmental, social and governance considerations, as well as workforce development through coursework, micro-credentials, and internship programs.

"This collaboration reflects our commitment to research-led innovation, with our proprietary technologies supporting St. John University's role in advancing RWA tokenization," said Nathaniel Bradley, Chief Executive Officer of Datavault AI. "By supporting an academic platform with clear governance and defined objectives, we aim to contribute technology and expertise that advance standards, education, and responsible adoption."

"The establishment of the Center, powered by Datavault AI's proprietary technologies, reflects our commitment to advancing interdisciplinary research that bridges academic scholarship with real-world application," said Yen-Po Tang, President of St. John's University. "Through this collaboration, we aim to strengthen international academic exchange, develop practical research frameworks, and contribute to the responsible evolution of financial and data technologies."

Dr. Benjamin Tseng, Executive Director of the Board of Trustees at St. John University added, "Our partner today, Datavault AI Inc., is a globally focused technology company with strengths in artificial intelligence, data assetization, digital content, and real-world asset applications. Datavault AI's ability to combine technological innovation with practical industry implementation aligns closely with our vision for industry-academia collaboration. Through the establishment of the RWA International Research Center, we look forward to joining efforts in academic research, talent development, and industrial application, creating meaningful contributions to both academia and the industry."
