VESSLabs and Campus Create, the technology transfer organization linked to the University of Electro Communications, have signed an agreement to work together on expanding the market for decentralized identity technologies. The focus is on DID and verifiable credentials along with digital identity wallets. The idea is to build an identity framework that works not only for people but also for AI agents and physical AI systems.
Both sides want to move the discussion from theory to real deployments. The plan includes developing use cases around AI chatbots and autonomous robots where identity, authority, and reliability need to be verified. That means looking at how DID and credential systems can confirm who or what an AI system is, what permissions it has, and how those permissions are managed.
The partnership will also run proof of concept projects with companies and infrastructure operators. These tests will look at how the identity layer works in real business environments before wider rollout.

The collaboration extends beyond technology development to include support for product sales development combined with the creation of intellectual property licensing models and joint marketing efforts through industry events and seminars.
The bigger issue they are trying to solve is trust. As autonomous AI systems start acting in both digital and physical environments, questions about responsibility and authority become harder to ignore. The two organizations believe identity infrastructure will be one of the key foundations needed to make AI systems operate safely and legitimately.
