The news comes as data centres are designated Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) by the UK Government in the first move of its kind since 2015.
Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham and the Leader of Stockport Council, Cllr Mark Hunter, were among those present as work began to demolish existing buildings on the ex-industrial site in preparation for the new data centre, which is expected to be powering customers’ workloads by 2026.
The state-of-the-art facility will further cement Manchester’s growing reputation as a major hub for UK digital infrastructure and technology innovation, and ties into the GMCA’s Greater Manchester Digital Blueprint by extending the region’s world-class digital infrastructure.
Upon completion, the data centre will deliver unrivalled computing capabilities to regional and international organisations, providing them with one of Europe’s most advanced and sustainable hosting environments, powered by 100% certified renewable energy.
The new data centre is also expected to bring numerous high-net-worth employment opportunities to the area, creating both direct and indirect jobs across construction, engineering, and operations, while attracting further tech professionals to the region.
Once operational this facility provides the vital capacity needed for tech businesses to scale and grow, supporting more jobs in the digital sector.
Andy Burnham said: “As we continue our mission to ensure world-class digital infrastructure for the region, this new data centre will play a pivotal part in our fast-growing and diverse technology ecosystem, reinforcing our position as a global leader in AI and data centre capacity.”
“This data centre can also raise aspirations and opportunities for young people, providing a window on the GM economy that they’ve never had before,” he continued. Kao Data’s plans to engage with schools and colleges and support technical career pathways for local students through the Greater Manchester Baccalaureate is exciting, and I’m looking forward to seeing those plans become reality.”
Doug Loewe, CEO, Kao Data, said: “Beginning the development stage of our new data centre marks an important milestone, not only for Kao Data, but for technology in Stockport and Greater Manchester. The city region is becoming an increasingly strategic location for digital infrastructure investment, and our new facility – the largest and most sustainable in the north of England – further reinforces Greater Manchester’s position as a digital and economic powerhouse.”
Cllr Mark Hunter said: “It’s a fantastic opportunity for Stockport to attract businesses like Kao Data to come and be based in the borough, with all the extra job opportunities and support for growing our local economy further that comes with them.
“It’s also a testament to all of the good work and investment in the borough that the Council has led on – with good support from Andy Burnham as GM Mayor – that digital and tech businesses recognise the potential of Stockport as a key location for their growth and further success.”
By 2026, Greater Manchester is expected to emerge as one of the UK and Europe’s largest computing and technology hubs, benefitting from a strategic location that includes access to cutting-edge connectivity, an industrialised power grid, a talented, tech-savvy workforce and well-established AI Start-up and research communities.
Kao Data’s facility is set to be a cornerstone of this transformation, helping businesses across the region stay competitive on the global stage and attract the world’s most pioneering tech players to the North West.

Zetrix Launches Chinese Digital ID Identity Verification Service on ZCert

Published

on

zetrix-launches-chinese-digital-id-identity-verification-service-on-zcert

First-of-its-Kind Solution Enables Overseas Entities to Authenticate and Verify Chinese IDs
PETALING JAYA, Malaysia, Oct. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Zetrix, a layer-1 public blockchain platform, today launched a first-of-its-kind application that enables official identities of Chinese nationals (“Chinese Digital IDs”) to be authenticated and verified digitally overseas, paving the way for a seamless, efficient, and secure verification process for verifiers and identity holders. 

Through the ZCert service, Zetrix now simplifies and facilitates electronic Know Your Customer (“eKYC”) processes for entities outside of China wishing to verify the authenticity of information contained in the Digital IDs presented to them by Chinese nationals. 
This pioneering service has been made possible through Zetrix’s unique integration to China’s national public blockchain Xinghuo BIF. 
Chinese nationals can choose to publish their Digital IDs on Xinghuo BIF and upon doing so, the data can then be accessed by verifying entities outside of China through the ZCert service on Zetrix, which operates the Xinghuo International Supernode, known as Astron.
“We are truly excited about the introduction of this cross-border Digital ID service as it enables a new wave of services powered by smart contracts. KYC processes can now be a simplified and automated process. Furthermore, user data is retained by users at all times and only critical information is shared in an encrypted manner,” said TS Wong, co-founder of Zetrix.
“Payments on Web 3 platforms can now be executed fully in compliance with existing rules. Our Chinese Digital ID application combined with Malaysia’s National ID and WorldID and future sovereign IDs, makes ZCert the most comprehensive global Digital ID solution,” he added. 
“Creating cross-border trust is of great importance, especially the verification of digital identity, credentials and documents. We would like to create a trusted data channel, together with MYEG, to facilitate the international cooperation between China and Malaysia and the rest of the world in the digital age,” said Xiaoyu You, Head of International Cooperation Department of the Institute of Industrial Internet & IoT, China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (“CAICT”), which is responsible for the development, execution and implementation of Xinghuo BIF.
Leveraging on the unparalleled advantages of blockchain technology, the new ZCert service provides a more advanced, convenient, reliable and secure method of verifying identity information in real-time, thus bringing a more pleasant overall experience to identity holders and verifying entities alike when compared with conventional credential verification methods. 
The immutability of blockchain means verifiers will be able to confirm that National IDs issued and accessed through the Xinghuo-Zetrix collaboration are authentic, genuine and have not been altered. This may not be the case for conventional ID cards, whether in their physical or digital image forms, as these may be subject to tampering, fraud, or forgery using image editing tools, and verifiers have no immediate, trustworthy method to assess their authenticity.  
Furthermore, the new National ID verification service on ZCert takes full advantage of the Self-Sovereign Identity framework within Web3 technology, enabling identity holders to selectively disclose relevant information such as name or home address without having to share other non-relevant personal data, hence ensuring improved privacy protection. In contrast, the use of conventional ID cards in their static physical or digital image forms does not provide similar safeguards as all information are static and already openly displayed. 
In addition, a significant advantage of opting for the use of verifiable digital IDs is that since they are dynamic in nature, user data can be updated by authorised issuers to reflect the most current personal information of the holder, ensuring precision and accuracy. 
The launch of the Chinese Digital IDs verification facility is the latest innovation on ZCert and comes just months after it introduced a service for Chinese driving licences to be digitised and accessed overseas for verification purposes.
It is expected that the ZCert cross-border credentials verification service will be progressively expanded in the coming months to include other documents of critical importance to individuals and businesses.
More information on ZCert is available at https://www.zetrix.com/zcert/
About ZetrixZetrix is a layer-1 public blockchain that facilitates smart contracts and delivers privacy, security and scalability. Zetrix’s cryptographic infrastructure can be introduced to multiple industries to connect governments, businesses and their citizens to a global blockchain-based economy. Developed by MY E.G. Services Bhd, the cross-border and cross-chain integration with China enables Zetrix to serve as a blockchain gateway that facilitates global trade by deploying critical building blocks for Web3 services such as Blockchain-based Identifiers (BID) and Verifiable Credentials (VC).

The services segment is expected to capture the highest CAGR during the forecast period for the offering segment.
The offering segment of the Student Information System Market is platform and services. The services segment accounted for the highest CAGR during the forecasted period. The student information system services categories consist of numerous support and consulting services necessary and sufficient to assist institutions in implementing, enhancing, and managing their SIS solutions. This segment includes professional services such as system integration, customization, consulting, and managed services that handle ongoing system management and support. Support services are important for guaranteeing that SIS platforms are properly fit into institutional contexts and supported as complex systems that must constantly be updated to accommodate new needs and integrate with existing applications.

Based on the platform module, the core student administration segment is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period.
The Student Information System Market is segmented by platform module into core student administration, financial management, academic management, communication & engagement, and other platform modules. During the forecast period, the core student administration segment is expected to hold the largest market size in the Student Information System Market. This is the central system of a SIS, as it is responsible for critical student administration that focuses on the student lifecycle. This module helps in the overall work of different administrative activities, such as enrolling and registering students and managing their records and other academic institution processes. It centralizes student data, creating an overview that can be used for decision-making, compliance, and reporting purposes. Core student administration is critical to institutions as it means that many tasks run on their own, thus avoiding errors that may be occasioned by human interference. Subsequently, the functional improvement made by institutions through effective core student administration procedures makes institutional administrative processes more efficient frees up time for more vital facets of the institution, such as academics and student services. This is because different functions for this module are embedded and can easily communicate with the other departments, making it possible to ensure that all the various stakeholders receive timely and accurate information.
