UC Berkeley’s Autonomous AI Vehicle Project To Be Featured At DePIN Expo 2025


In Brief
DePIN Expo 2025, the first global exhibition focused on Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks, will be held in Hong Kong with academic support from UC Berkeley to bridge research and industry for real-world Web3 deployment.

Professional exhibition dedicated to Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) DePIN Expo 2025 announced the receipt of academic backing from the University of California, Berkeley. Professor Allen Yang, who serves as the Executive Director of the UC Berkeley FHL Vive Center and is also a Co-Founder of the Berkeley DeFi Research Initiative, will contribute academic oversight to the event.
Professor Yang is a recognized authority in the field of decentralized technologies at UC Berkeley and plays an active role in fostering innovation across the sector. He is a co-founder of Hitch Interactive, a company responsible for the creation of programmable NFTs aligned with IMF standards and the integration of AI-driven services within the Immutable Miniverse.
