NTT DOCOMO GLOBAL and Accenture are teaming up to develop and scale the Universal Wallet Infrastructure (UWI), a platform designed to deliver enterprise-grade digital trust services. The jointly developed infrastructure empowers organizations to issue, verify, and manage credentials and tokens across digital identity, money, assets, and documents--ensuring seamless interoperability across enterprises, governments, industries, and geographies. This advances innovation, safeguards user consent, and opens new revenue streams while meeting regulatory standards.
As the global economy becomes more digital and AI-powered, individuals are demanding greater transparency, control, and trust in how their data is used, while organizations are being challenged to capitalize on the potential of data and AI to minimize risk, introduce efficiencies, and increase resilience. Organizations need to reassess current data architectures and explore decentralized approaches that unshackle them from central systems to significantly increase the utility of data. UWI addresses these challenges by bridging today's fragmented, siloed systems with decentralized technologies for secure, trusted, real-time data exchange and seamless coordination among partners, while enabling AI at the edge to deliver real-time, personalized services.
By giving users control over their information, UWI fosters trust and empowers secure data sharing--unlocking access to accurate, consent-driven data that fuels innovation, strengthens compliance, and enhances customer experiences, ultimately driving growth for enterprises. This can have real-world impact across many industries from government services looking to cut fraud, eliminate paperwork, and improve access for all, to employers streamlining hiring, training, mobility, and compliance, or travel systems enabling smooth, personalized journeys across airlines, hotels, and borders. The rise of a decentralized data economy has the potential to reshape societies and industries worldwide.
By empowering individuals with ownership of their data and enabling organizations to innovate responsibly, UWI supports inclusive growth, enhances digital trust, and drives sustainable economic progress. By combining Accenture's deep expertise with proven strengths, company will deliver secure, compliant, and convenient digital experiences for businesses and individuals. Looking ahead to an AI-driven era, company aim to enable verifiable authentication and innovative trust models globally, creating transformative digital experiences.
