The Zanzibar Government and ThreeFold have partnered to launch the world's first automated digital Special Economic Zone (SEZ), a groundbreaking initiative that combines a robust legal framework with a decentralized, censorship-resistant internet. This public-private partnership aims to provide a secure, autonomous, and legally innovative environment for businesses seeking global operations and digital asset protection.

The Zanzibar Autonomous Zone (ZAZ) is set to offer millions of people a secure, autonomous, and legally innovative environment for businesses, enabling them to operate globally while safeguarding their digital assets. As geopolitical tensions and cyber threats continue to rise, the combination of a robust legal framework and a decentralized, censorship-resistant internet presents a critical alternative for those seeking digital and operational autonomy.

Kristof de Spiegeleer, Co-Founder of ThreeFold, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership: "We are delighted to announce this landmark partnership with the Government of Zanzibar. Our agentic design allows for high scalability, and the in-built geo-awareness should be a requirement for any nation that is serious about its sovereignty. This initiative represents a major milestone for the tech community, offering a fully decentralized and legally protected environment where the ThreeFold Grid can be utilized to its full potential. It’s a game-changer for digital sovereignty."

This announcement follows ThreeFold's latest investment round, which has seen strong backing from global investors, including EV3 Ventures and Generative Ventures. The ThreeFold team is currently attending ETH Denver to showcase its technology and expand its partnerships, with founders Kristof De Spiegeleer and Florian Fournier leading discussions on Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) and AI.

ThreeFold is revolutionizing the internet by building the world's first agent-centric, AI-native decentralized cloud. Designed for autonomy, security, and efficiency, ThreeFold's peer-to-peer infrastructure supports AI workloads, Web3 applications, and sovereign digital economies. By eliminating traditional cloud bottlenecks and centralization risks, ThreeFold empowers nations, enterprises, and individuals with true digital sovereignty.
