GIGATECH harnesses the power of smart connected technology to drive automation, efficiency, and the speed and scale required to unlock lucrative and impactful opportunities in the clean energy transition.

As the world moves toward a sustainable future, GIGATECH is positioned at the forefront, leveraging an advanced technology stack to unlock opportunities across industries. By harnessing the programmability of tokenization, the immutability of blockchain, and the power of AI, GIGATECH is driving transformative value flows and empowering businesses to excel in the economies of tomorrow.

Through the GIGATONS Group companies, GIGATECH is working on supporting a multi-billion-dollar pipeline of opportunities that have the potential to deliver significant impact.  Globally headquartered in Abu Dhabi Global Markets ‘The Capital of Capital’ and launching alongside Abu Dhabi Finance Week and Bitcoin MENA the group are working with the UAE Ministry of Energy & Infrastructure (MOEI), the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO), Abu Dhabi’s Integrated Transport Centre (Abu Dhabi Mobility), and are announcing a host of major partnerships:

  • Investment: with Delphi, and investment partnership with Wise Capital Partners
  • International: Australian Partner Network with Flow Power
  • Blockchain: with Alephium, and Hearst Corporation
  • M&A: of All-Infra into GIGATONS

GIGATECH’s core value is delivered through the GIGA Protocol a suite of highly composable smart connected products that reimagines the way value and information are transferred.  At the heart of this value chain is a pervasive layer of transparency and trust realised across four pillars of smart connected: Capital, Assets, Carbon, & Data.  This transformative application suite forms a cohesive framework for addressing the most pressing challenges of our time and opens the doors to a multi-trillion-dollar market of transition era opportunities.

Unlocking Opportunity through Innovation

  • Tokenization: By digitizing assets and carbon credits, GIGATECH enables programmability across capital, real world assets, carbon impact, and AI native data. This provides a host benefits including: smart contract automation, disintermediation, fractional ownership, and democratized access to value creation, making it easier to fund and scale sustainable projects.
  • Real-World Assets (RWA): Integrating RWAs with blockchain technology allows GIGATECH to bring tangible value to the digital space, connecting physical assets with transparent and efficient markets.
  • Blockchain: At the heart of GIGATECH’s strategy, blockchain ensures secure, immutable, and decentralized solutions for data and value transfer, fostering trust and accountability.

  • Metaverse Digital Twins: By creating virtual replicas of physical systems, GIGATECH facilitates scenario modelling and real-time monitoring, enabling informed decision-making at a global scale in a visually intuitive environment.

The Future of Smart Connectivity

GIGATECH envisions a future where “smart” meets “connected” in transformative ways. By integrating AI (“smart”) with blockchain technology (“connected”), the company is removing many of the existing frictions in global systems. However, in pursuit of a smart connected future it is equally imperative to ensure these cutting-edge digital infrastructures are carbon net zero themselves.

One of many exciting projects and partnerships being announced this week seeks to tackle this, GIGATECH is partnering with HEARST Corporation and Alephium to deliver the world’s first end-to-end tokenised green blockchain mining and AI datacentre projects, with a Wise Capital partnership with GIGACAPITAL for tokenised funding solutions.  The POC project will be one of the first use cases for the GIGA Protocol and sews the seeds of ambition to substantially scale green blockchain mining and green data centre projects globally in 2025. 


Unlocking the vast potential of the transition era requires us to go beyond mere ambition; it demands a paradigm shift,” said Heston Harper, CEO of GIGATECH. “We must break free from the old, linear approaches that confine tomorrow to yesterday’s thinking. The climate-aligned economy isn’t just a future possibility—it IS the future.  To build it, transparency and trust are non-negotiable. The GIGA Protocol is engineered to deliver these principles immutably, empowered by automated intelligence, to the areas that matter most. The global economy is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by policies and market forces that is sparking innovation across industries and supply chains. As stakeholders seize the opportunities of the transition era, the pace of change will only accelerate, at camp GIGATECH we are obsessively focussed at helping to unlock that collective action at an unprecedented scale,”

PlatON Announced as Secondary Exhibition Sponsor for Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2026

PlatON Announced as Secondary Exhibition Sponsor for Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2026

Hong Kong, 10th February 2026, The Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2026 just got another major sponsor on board. PlatON is coming in as a Secondary Exhibition Sponsor, and honestly, it’s a pretty good fit given what they’re trying to accomplish in the financial infrastructure space.

So what exactly is PlatON? It’s an open financial infrastructure platform that the LatticeX Foundation put together. The really cool part is this thing called TOPOS that sits on top of it – basically, it’s designed to help banks and payment companies actually make sense of blockchain technology and use it for real-world payments and clearing. We’ve all heard the talk about blockchain revolutionizing finance, but PlatON is actually trying to make that happen by building something traditional financial institutions can actually work with.

They’ve got the technical chops for it too – we’re talking high-frequency transaction processing, quick settlements, smart contracts that can handle multiple types of assets. This isn’t some experimental project; it’s built to handle serious stuff like cross-border payments, institutional settlements, and managing digital assets in a way that keeps regulators happy. If you want to dive deeper into what they’re doing, head over to https://platon.network.

Now, the festival itself has become a pretty big deal since it kicked off back in April 2023. Wanxiang Blockchain Labs and HashKey Group run it together, with W3ME handling the organization, and it’s turned into the go-to event for anyone serious about Web3 in Asia. It’s where people actually show up to talk about what’s working, what’s not, and where all of this is heading.

Mark your calendars for April 20-23 if you’re planning to go – it’ll be at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The past three years have been pretty wild: 350+ exhibitors, over 1,200 speakers, 100,000 people coming through the doors, and more than 400 side events happening around the main conference. That’s a lot of activity packed into a few days.

This year they’re lining up around 300 speakers to cover pretty much every corner of Web3 and crypto. But here’s what’s really interesting – they’ve already got 500+ executives and decision-makers from traditional finance and regular businesses signed up. That’s not your typical crypto crowd. It means you’ve got old-school finance people genuinely trying to understand this space, sitting down with crypto natives, and actually having productive conversations. Those are the kinds of interactions that lead to real progress.

The fact that it’s in Hong Kong matters more than you might think. The city has always been this weird and wonderful mix of East and West, traditional finance and cutting-edge tech. It’s got one foot in Mainland China’s massive market and the other in the global financial system. That positioning means the festival can pull in people and ideas from everywhere, giving you access to perspectives and opportunities that just don’t exist at Western crypto conferences or purely Asian tech events.

Whether you’re already neck-deep in DeFi or you’re just trying to figure out what all the fuss is about, this has become the event that actually matters in the Asian crypto calendar.
