NEW YORK--()--SQD.AI, the first Emergent Database Network empowering hundreds of Web3 applications, has announced the opening of its New York office. With the U.S. cementing itself as a global leader in artificial intelligence—highlighted by the $500 billion Stargate Project—the Zug-based SQD.AI is strategically positioning itself to capitalize on this momentum, driving innovation in the world’s largest AI market, which is projected to reach $66.21 billion by 2025.

“With historic investments like Stargate kicking off unprecedented growth in America, we’re excited to extend SQD.AI’s roots to New York,” said Marcel Fohrmann, co-founder of SQD.AI. “By making massive amounts of raw data available, SQD.AI will not just be a passenger, but a driver in innovation and implementation of AI in decentralized ecosystems. We want to unify data and AI for more secure, efficient engagements in Web3—embracing the U.S. as a new home front is a necessary step in that.”

While global tech once saw prominent U.S.-based, decentralized projects making their exodus to countries abroad, today, international pioneers like SQD.AI are expanding to America to drive the global AI economy. The nation’s investments and forward-thinking regulatory initiatives have turned it into a magnet for projects pushing the boundaries of emerging tech. This shift is paving the way for solutions to critical data challenges, including scalability bottlenecks, cost, inefficiencies from redundant data, and retrieval speeds.

SQD.AI’s Emergent Database Network plays a critical role in shaping the AI-driven future by:

  • AI x Web3 Integration: Enabling AI agents to seamlessly access and interpret Web3 data, opening doors to innovative fields like DeFAI.
  • Sovereign Data Access: Empowering agents to autonomously connect with the network for real-time insights, improving decision-making and operational efficiency.
  • New Markets: Establishing a New York hub allows SQD.AI to collaborate with key players in AI and Web3, driving creativity and scalability across industries.

“Here in the U.S., it’s crucial for SQD.AI to not just follow trends but to actively shape them,” said Fohrmann. “Permissionless and distributed data access is our priority, and we are excited to embrace this shift and contribute to the future of AI. With our horizontally scalable, decentralized network and proven expertise in delivering massive data to Web3 applications, SQD.AI is uniquely positioned to create infrastructure that powers the next generation of AI agents locally and globally.”
