Hyra Network Wins Prestigious Chairman's Award 2025 at WITSA Global AI Summit
Mr. John Tran, Founder & Chairman of Hyra Holdings & Hyra Network, has been honored to receive the Chairman's Award 2025 at the Global AI Summit.
The world's first decentralized AI infrastructure
Built atop a Layer-3 blockchain, Hyra Network and its Hyra AI platform combine a verifiable compute grid with on-chain DAO governance. The architecture enables nations, enterprises, and citizens to access and supervise AI with transparency and strong privacy protections.
'The Chairman's Award is reserved for truly outstanding initiatives that demonstrate exceptional innovation and global impact,' said Dato' Dr. Sean Seah Kok Wah, Chairman of WITSA. 'Hyra Network's vision for decentralized, sovereign AI sets a new benchmark and is helping shape the future of the AI industry.'
A pathway to a sovereign digital civilization
According to John Tran, Founder & Chairman of Hyra Holdings & Hyra Network, the Chairman's Award is both a technological recognition and a validation of Hyra's long-term vision.
'We believe every nation and every citizen deserves to own their AI infrastructure,' Tran said. 'This award is both WITSA's recognition and Hyra's unwavering commitment to building a decentralized digital civilization – one that celebrates fairness and puts people in control.'
The WITSA Chairman's Award 2025 affirms Hyra's decentralized-AI strategy for digital sovereignty – advancing its commitment that 'AI is a public resource.'
Guided by the principle that 'AI is a public resource,' Hyra Network is turning independent, community-owned AI into reality. Its on-chain DAO ensures the protocol evolves in ways that most benefit the public.
From ideal to at-scale reality
As of August 2025, Hyra Network has connected over 2.7 million devices across 200+ countries, laying a strong foundation for sovereign AI infrastructure beyond traditional, centralized data centers. This breakthrough platform is researched and developed by Hyra Tek JCS (Vietnam) and operated by Hyra Tek Smart Solution L.L.C in United Arab Emirates (UAE). With hundreds of thousands of active nodes and a global user base, Hyra has demonstrated that decentralized AI can scale from concept to production.
Hyra's open ecosystem comprises three core platforms:
Hyra AI – A verifiable, edge-native AI inference platform that processes data directly on user devices for security and performance.
Hyra Zone – A large-scale, decentralized GPU training network that replaces centralized data-center models with flexible, cost-effective capacity.
Hyra Mega – A transparent marketplace for AI models, datasets, and APIs, enabling fair, secure exchange of digital assets.
Together, these platforms function as an 'Operating System for the Era of Digital Sovereignty,' empowering organizations and individuals to deploy, use, and audit AI independently - without reliance on Big Tech vendors.
Accelerating global expansion – on track for a 2030 Nasdaq IPO
The WITSA Chairman's Award 2025 marks a pivotal milestone in Hyra's globalization strategy. Previously, Hyra was recognized at the Globee International Business Awards for technology innovation.
With a new regional hub in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Hyra is consolidating its international presence and preparing a $10B target IPO on Nasdaq in 2030, aiming to become one of the world's most influential technology companies.

South Korea Aims to Lead with Both AI Technology and Content
South Korea under the Lee Jae-myung administration is placing artificial intelligence at the center of its future industrial strategy, with particular focus on how AI can drive the nation's content industries. While much global attention remains fixed on infrastructure and platforms, the Korean government is signaling that cultural and creative applications of AI will be a critical frontier for growth. Among these, advertising-based video content is quickly gaining recognition as a domain where Korea can combine creativity with advanced technology. The convergence of AI and content production is not only reshaping how campaigns are delivered, but also how national competitiveness in the digital era is defined. As global gaps in AI technology narrow, the real question has become how effectively companies can apply these tools. Within this shifting landscape, Shinilyu Contents has gained recognition as an advertising company that leverages generative AI through a planning-centered approach, producing results at a global leadership level. What distinguishes Shinilyu Contents is not merely the use of generative AI tools, but the way it has built a planning-first system that translates strategic vision into mass production of video content. Its integrated model—where creative planning and AI execution are seamlessly linked—has positioned the company as a benchmark for efficiency and global competitiveness. On the international stage, global giants such as WPP in the UK and Accenture Song have made significant investments in AI-powered creative services, focusing on scale and integration across industries. Yet industry observers note that Shinilyu Contents, while more specialized, has excelled in producing consistently high-quality video outputs at speed, demonstrating how a focused approach can rival even the largest players. As South Korea continues to advance its AI agenda, the government's emphasis on content innovation and the private sector's execution capabilities are becoming mutually reinforcing. In this environment, Shinilyu Contents illustrates how a Korean AI advertising company can extend national competitiveness into the cultural and creative economy, not just the technology sector. If current momentum continues, South Korea could soon be recognized globally not only as a hub for AI technology infrastructure, but also as a center where cultural content and advertising innovation thrive alongside technological progress.
