Collaboration provides enterprise-grade platforms to accelerate AI-powered innovation across industries<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Tokyo, Japan (Jan. 6, 2026) \u2013 NTT DOCOMO GLOBAL and Accenture are teaming up to develop and scale the Universal Wallet Infrastructure (UWI), a groundbreaking platform designed to deliver enterprise-grade digital trust services. The jointly developed infrastructure empowers organizations to issue, verify, and manage credentials and tokens across digital identity, money, assets, and documents\u2014ensuring seamless interoperability across enterprises, governments, industries, and geographies. This advances innovation, safeguards user consent, and opens new revenue streams while meeting regulatory standards.<\/p>\n

As the global economy becomes more digital and AI-powered, individuals are demanding greater transparency, control, and trust in how their data is used, while organizations are being challenged to capitalize on the potential of data and AI to minimize risk, introduce efficiencies, and increase resilience. Organizations need to reassess current data architectures and explore decentralized approaches that unshackle them from central systems to significantly increase the utility of data.<\/p>\n

UWI addresses these challenges by bridging today\u2019s fragmented, siloed systems with decentralized technologies for secure, trusted, real-time data exchange and seamless coordination among partners, while enabling AI at the edge to deliver real-time, personalized services. By giving users control over their information, UWI fosters trust and empowers secure data sharing\u2014unlocking access to accurate, consent-driven data that fuels innovation, strengthens compliance, and enhances customer experiences, ultimately driving growth for enterprises.<\/p>\n

This can have real-world impact across many industries from government services looking to cut fraud, eliminate paperwork, and improve access for all, to employers streamlining hiring, training, mobility, and compliance, or travel systems enabling smooth, personalized journeys across airlines, hotels, and borders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The rise of a decentralized data economy has the potential to reshape societies and industries worldwide. By empowering individuals with ownership of their data and enabling organizations to innovate responsibly, UWI supports inclusive growth, enhances digital trust, and drives sustainable economic progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are creating a new social infrastructure built on the core values of trust and interoperability\u201d said Hiroki Kuriyama, President and CEO, NTT DOCOMO GLOBAL. \u201cThrough this collaboration, we are accelerating the global rollout of Universal Wallet Infrastructure (UWI) to establish a new foundation of digital trust worldwide. As digital IDs and electronic credentials gain momentum across borders, ensuring interoperability and reliability has become critical. By combining Accenture\u2019s deep expertise with our proven strengths, we will deliver secure, compliant, and convenient digital experiences for businesses and individuals. Looking ahead to an AI-driven era, we aim to enable verifiable authentication and innovative trust models globally, creating transformative digital experiences.
