Inacta collaborates with Roland Berger for web3 and blockchain projects

Switzerland-based Inacta Group has chosen Roland Berger as its partner for the development of innovative projects within Web3 and Blockchain. While most of the work is currently delivered in Europe, the international partnership is led out of Roland Berger’s Middle East practice.

A small place on the European map, the Swiss city of Zug (population just 30,000) is a surprisingly big name on the global crypto scene. Home to many cryptocurrency companies, including unicorns Ethereum, Dfinity and Cardano, Zug has been called a ‘Crypto Valley’ for its role at the forefront of the crypto and Web3 world.

Inacta is also headquartered in Zurg, an IT company specializing in technology services, with a particular focus on digital assets and blockchain-based technologies. Over the years, the firm has helped the likes of AXA, InCore Bank, Swiss Post, Raiffeisen Bank and Visa to explore and enter the world of digital assets.

In the Middle East, Inacta is best known for its role in developing and supporting Dubai-based Crypto Oasis, the region’s fastest growing blockchain ecosystem. Crypto Oasis brings together stakeholders from across the landscape – startups, investors, businesses and service providers – with the goal of building winning formulas and mutual partnerships.

When Inacta recently approached Crypto Oasis for support for its growing portfolio of Web3 projects, Crypto Oasis co-founder Saqr Ereiqat was quick to endorse Roland Berger, its exclusive global strategic partner and a firm operating at the forefront of the crypto strategy consulting landscape.

This week, the companies entered into a three-way agreement. “We are delighted to have orchestrated this partnership between our trusted partners,” said Ereiqat.

Led out of the Middle East (by partners Feroz Sanaulla and Pierre Samaties), Roland Berger’s Crypto Economy practice helps its clients build and implement crypto economy strategies. Emphasizing the internationally oriented partnership with Inacta, Roland Berger also has teams of crypto experts across Europe, including Switzerland and Germany.

“Roland Berger is a thought leader among the best strategy consultancies in the digital assets and Web3 space,” said Zug-based Ralf Glabischnig, managing partner and founder of Inacta. “With this strategic partnership, we can combine Roland Berger’s strong consulting skills with our Web3 implementation power to better support our mutual customers.”

The deal has been quick to materialize, with “a number of projects already in the works,” Samaties said. One of the projects is for the German utility giant E.On, and another is for an unnamed pharma and consumer goods giant based in Switzerland. “And we intend to work closely together on many more projects in the future.”
