1/n Short summary for the English world:
@BoschGlobal Research runs a project "Economy of Things" focusing on digital (decentralized) #marketplaces based on their experiences in
1⃣#DLT
2⃣#MPC multi-party computing
3⃣decentralized identity management (#SSI)
4⃣digital marketplaces

2/n The principles for #platform's they have researched are very well suited for #GaiaX. That's the reason why they have been engaged in and support it heavily.

Their vision of a fair and neutral digital marketplace is based on criteria such as
- openness
- neutrality
- transparency
- souvereignty
- integrity
- coopetion
(which fully coincide with #GaiaX's vision of their #European #dataspace & #servicespace.

4/n Commentary:
It is obvious that #IOTA shares these values and already has working solutions for several technical problems:
- #Tangle (#Chrysalis and beyond) for a scalable #DLT
- #TangleIdentity for decentralized identity managemend based on #DID's and #SSI's

5/n
- #TangleMarketplace for decentralized marketplaces
- #IOTA #SmartContracts for #MPC (to a certain extent)

It is equally obvious that Bosch's statement deliberately has been kept technology neutral. I also would not have mentioned #IOTA if I were their research director...

6/n
However, their Research Director explicitly mentioned their previous experiences (which certainly has to include #IOTA ;-) which they want to bring into the #GaiaX enterprise.

7/n (n=7)
So, even though I have no concrete personal recollection of Bosch's contributions yet, I am pretty sure they will leverage all their experience for #GaiaX. That certainly will also include #IOTA, I am convinced.

(But #GaiaX is much more and really ambitious!)
