As a finalist in the B4B Challenge’s Smart City Accelerator stream, Datum announces its entry into the Chinese market with an inaugural trip to Beijing.

Switzerland-13th January 2018. Datum is pleased to announce that it has been named one of three finalists in this year’s B4B Challenge Smart City stream — a contest dedicated to identifying the most promising technological talents, matching them with mentors, and bringing their products and ideas to mainland China.

While in Beijing, Datum team members were under the guidance of various mentors, amongst them Mr. Herbert Chia, notable big data guru and partner at Sequoia Capital China. Datum also met with China’s most promising and influential big data enterprises, including TalkingData. Reaching over 5 billion mobile devices with 120,000 applications, TalkingData is the country’s largest independent big data service platform.

“Since the B4B Challenge is a contest dedicated to developing a healthy and sustainable ecosystem for big data, it makes sense that we’re a finalist,” said Roger Haenni, Datum’s co-founder and CEO. “Datum’s goal is helping everyone on the Internet get paid for the data they create, and entering the Chinese market is a pivotal step in accomplishing that.”

“TalkingData alone processes 20 terabytes of data every single day. This is the kind of information that will become the backbone of the data marketplace Datum is currently building, so you can imagine how important these few days in Beijing were,” said Cynthia Lo, Datum’s Business Development Manager.

Datum successfully created and launched its data trading test network powered by the DAT token in December 2017. Over 80,000 users have already registered to take back ownership of the data they create; over 333,000 DAT tokens have already been used to purchase data from these users.
