Partnership supports the FIT Entrepreneurship Program’s first Web3/NFT Course Winning NFT Designs will be selected May 5, 2023

New York, New York–(Newsfile Corp. – April 11, 2023) – Fabriq Labs, a Web3 company based in the US, is sponsoring a groundbreaking University-wide Web3/NFT competition at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York City. The NFT design competition tasks students with developing an NFT project that showcases both their design talents and an understanding of the core tenets of Web3. The competition will run through May 5, 2023, with judging by a panel of Web3 industry experts. Three winners will be selected to receive cash prizes based on the quality of their design and the viability of their project plan. This collaboration offers a unique, experiential learning opportunity for FIT students.

Sam Whitaker, the founder of Fabriq Labs, chose to partner with FIT while supporting the University’s first Web3/NFT course with William Reinisch, associate chair, assistant professor, Entrepreneurship and Renee Leibler, adjunct assistant professor, Entrepreneurship. Professors Reinisch and Leibler teach Web3 and NFT courses and will serve as mentors to students in the competition.

“We hope to exhibit our core values of education and philanthropy to the FIT student body through this process,” said Whitaker, who will be speaking at the NFT.NYC conference this week. “Fabriq’s mission is to help realize the potential of Web3 and NFTs to positively impact society.”

Fabriq will be offering students the opportunity to showcase one NFT from each of their collections in the first Fabriq NFT Charity Auction following the contest. Proceeds from the auction will be donated directly to a collection of exceptional national charities including: St Jude Children’s Research Hospital (TN), Esperanza and Gene Spotlight (PA), and Love Never Fails (CA). Participating students will have the chance to select additional charitable recipients for the event.

“We would like to sincerely thank Professors Reinisch and Leibler along with the entire FIT administration for their energy, commitment and foresight to bring cutting edge opportunities like this to their student body,” said Whitaker, “NFTs were born in art and these students are some of the most talented emerging artists in the world. It is an honor to help launch their Web3 journey and all the wonderful possibilities that come along with it.”

Fabriq Labs invites members of the press and the Web3 community interested in participating or learning more about the contest and the Fabriq NFT Charity Auction to contact Sam Whitaker directly – [email protected] or via Twitter – @FabriqLabs.

The United Nations International Computing Center (UNICC) and ShelterZoom are pleased to announce a new innovative blockchain-based solution for controlling and protecting the digital data of UN entities and other international organizations. As the largest strategic partner for digital solutions and cybersecurity within the UN system, UNICC has partnered with ShelterZoom, a leading data and content protection and ownership SaaS company behind innovations such as Document Token® technology and Document GPS®.

Building upon the 50 years of experienced innovation from the UNICC, the two organizations collaborated on a transformational undertaking offering robust protection and promising increased productivity for document tracking and management. ShelterZoom will contribute its proprietary document tokenization technology, along with its data protection, document tracking and e-signature solutions to deliver a white-labeled platform, giving member organizations a greater level of governance over their content. Using ShelterZoom’s flagship proprietary Single Source Of Truth® technology, the solution provides a means for each file to be protected individually without changing user normal habits instead of having to rely solely on protecting files at the database level. This ‘singularity and control’ is a new era in cybersecurity and document management, which has never been seen before at this level of seamless integration with existing tools.

“The synergy between what we deliver and the goals of the United Nations are a perfect match for Single Source Of Truth,” said Chao Cheng-Shorland, CEO and Cofounder of ShelterZoom. “We have said from the beginning that it is time to think about cybersecurity in a completely new way and in doing so we have created a solution to address other operational pain points while simultaneously solving one of the biggest challenges facing the global population today. The UN is at the frontlines of changing the world for the better and its forward-thinking approach to using technology to address fundamental issues is critical in improving livelihoods for all.”

ShelterZoom solutions have already been in use across dozens of industries and with this new commercial partnership, they can now extend their usefulness to the UN family and other international organizations. The revolutionary method for complete document tracking with built-in productivity tools, such as digital signatures and a market-first method for organizing files inside email, is an all-in-one solution built for a global workforce. The Single Source of Truth model has the added benefit of decreasing the carbon footprint created by excessive digital waste, further supporting the sustainability goals of the United Nations.

“The need for robust cybersecurity and data protection has never been greater,” said Sameer Chauhan, Director of UNICC. “By working together with ShelterZoom, we have developed a cutting-edge tool tailored to the needs of the UN family. Our unwavering commitment to providing best-in-class solutions ensures we continue to support the digital transformation and modernization of the UN system and other international organizations.”
