Concordium Partners With Danish Ice Hockey Team for AI-Powered Fan Experience

• The collaboration between the two organizations is based on two cooperative projects, both of which are connected to Concordium’s AI infrastructure.
• The Danish National Team’s helmet and jersey will include Concordium branding as part of this agreement, with category exclusivity across digital assets for the length of the agreement.

Today, the Danmarks Ishockey Union (DIU) announced Concordium, the official AI partner of the Danish National Ice Hockey Team and a purpose-built AI infrastructure for businesses, agent networks, and developers. The collaboration will begin in the 2026 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship in Switzerland.

The collaboration between the two organizations is based on two cooperative projects, both of which are connected to Concordium’s AI infrastructure. Using Concordium’s zero-knowledge proofs and an Agentic Commerce initiative, a Verified Fan Program will test a privacy-preserving fan experience, showing how verified AI agents working at scale may provide a much better fan experience. Concordium’s recent efforts with the x402 agentic payments protocol are strengthened by this collaboration.

The Danish National Team’s helmet and jersey will include Concordium branding as part of this agreement, with category exclusivity across digital assets for the length of the agreement. Concordium’s native token, CCD, is used to settle the whole partnership fee. This is the first national-team partnership to be paid and locked in a native protocol token. The payment is made on-chain at the time of signing, with DIU having complete self-custody and a twelve-month lock-up enforced at the protocol level.

Through broadcasters like Viaplay, ZDF, ARD, TSN, and ESPN, viewers in Sweden, Finland, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, and the US may watch the Danish Ice Hockey team’s games in the 2026 World Championship. A total of 215 million people watched the 2025 IIHF World Championship live, while 25.6 billion people saw the tournament in 155 nations.

Concordium is an AI infrastructure for the agentic economy, driven by a regulatory-grade blockchain that was specifically designed with identity and trust in mind.

The counterparty requires confirmation that a verified person authorized the autonomous actions of an AI agent. At the infrastructural level, Concordium provides that guarantee. Verified AI agents and verified humans work on the same identity layer exclusively on this platform. World-renowned cryptographers created it, and businesses, agent networks, and developers all around the globe rely on it. Visit concordium.com for more.
