Concordium Partners With Next Generation to Offer World-Class IT Service and Reshape Education

N Next Gen and Concordium have partnered to provide world-class IT services and reshape education for students, instructors, institutions, and corporations. The Next Gen and Concordium collaboration will provide a decentralised platform for anyone looking to enter the correct job market, businesses looking for qualified personnel, and educational institutions or instructors looking to teach relevant, up-to-date, and meaningful curriculums through the new partnership.

Next Generation will work to meet the needs of neurodiverse students and provide access to global qualifications through DAO-based educational grants.

Next Generation aims to close the gap between the type of education students receive and what they, their communities, and their economies need by addressing issues like lack of access, availability, and inclusion.

…the second most crucial thing is for young people to put their education to use by finding meaningful work where they can make money, gain experience, and build networks to keep improving their lives…

Next Generation will be available globally as an open, decentralised infrastructure thanks to Concordium's innovative blockchain technology that balances privacy and accountability. Concordium's technology includes SSO solutions, which provide zero-knowledge proof and a protocol-level ID layer validated by a third party and enables people and businesses to trust one another privately.

Concordium's Lars Seier Christensen says: "Education is, in my opinion, an important area for improvement in the world. The second most crucial thing is for young people to put their education to use by finding meaningful work where they can make money, gain experience, and build networks to keep improving their lives. Therefore, I am thrilled that Concordium and NextGen, which have these two focus areas, are collaborating. Globally, there is a severe lack of inclusion in education, but by working together in a trustworthy environment, we can change this. To me, blockchain is about enhancing the quality of life and effectively integrating more people into the economy."

Michael Lundorff-Hansen of Next Gen concurs with Lars and says: "We are excited to announce our collaboration with Concordium and look forward to protecting organisations, educators, and students against the misuse of their data with the Concordium ID Layer. Concordium dedicates itself to delivering decentralisation and security within its blockchain while achieving regulatory compliance. We agree with Concordium's core values and regard them as valuable allies in this adventure."

By collaborating with Concordium, Next Generation can guarantee the partners' and users' privacy, security, usability, and compliance while working with international educational institutions to create a curriculum and qualifications framework for lifelong learning.
