Recognition at Trust Valley’s flagship Swiss acceleration programme validates the rising need for verifiable credentials and positions Accredify to help organisations and governments connect seamlessly with trusted data across borders.

SINGAPORE — 5 June 2026 — Accredify, a leading provider of verifiable credentials and digital trust solutions, has been awarded 3rd Prize (ex aequo) at Tech4Trust 2026, the global acceleration programme run by Switzerland’s Trust Valley for cybersecurity, AI and digital trust startups. The award was announced at the programme’s finale, where Accredify was recognised among 29 selected startups and 13 finalists for its innovation, growth potential and market impact.

Powered by EPFL Innovation Park, Tech4Trust caps nine months of acceleration, mentoring and market validation. Accredify shared the third-place podium with Swiss cybersecurity firm Krakinsight, while aurigin.ai and TofuPilot took first and second prizes respectively.

Accredify enables organisations to issue and verify tamper-proof digital credentials and documents, making trusted data easier to share, manage and verify at scale — a capability that is becoming mission-critical as AI-generated content, deepfakes and document fraud erode confidence in digital information worldwide.

A market signal: digital trust is now a global imperative

The recognition arrives as demand for verifiable credentials accelerates across sectors and geographies. As generative AI makes it cheaper than ever to fabricate convincing documents, identities and media, organisations and governments are urgently seeking ways to prove that data is authentic, unaltered and issued by a trusted source. Tech4Trust’s decision to spotlight Accredify reflects how central verifiable digital trust has become to the global technology agenda.

Advancing a cross-border mission

The win is a significant step in Accredify’s mission to deliver verifiable credentials services across borders — and to enable organisations and governments to connect seamlessly with trusted data. Validation on a respected Swiss and European stage strengthens Accredify’s position to extend its infrastructure internationally and to build the interoperable trust layer that cross-border digital interactions increasingly require.

“Being recognised at Tech4Trust is a powerful signal that the world is waking up to the value of digital trust. In an age where AI can manufacture convincing fakes in seconds, the ability to prove that data is authentic and trustworthy has never mattered more,” said Quah Zheng Wei, Co-founder and CEO of Accredify. “This award affirms the demand we see for verifiable credentials around the globe, and it propels our mission forward — not only to deliver our services across borders, but to enable organisations and governments everywhere to connect seamlessly with trusted data.”

Accredify thanks Trust Valley, EPFL Innovation Park and the Tech4Trust partners, advisory board, coaches and jury for their support throughout the programme, and congratulates its fellow winners and finalists building the future of digital trust.
