Gadjah Mada University adopts the verifiable education framework created by Indomobil Group’s partnership with Space and Time and introduces a new AI lab focused on Dreamspace

Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), one of Indonesia’s largest and most respected universities, announced its adoption of Space and Time, the blockchain for ZK-proven data, as a secure database for storing and verifying course credentials for its 60,000 students. UGM also unveiled an upcoming AI lab on campus created to teach students how to generate, deploy, and monetize applications with Dreamspace, an onchain AI app generator built on Space and Time.

Indomobil Group, one of Indonesia’s largest fully integrated group with multiple publicly traded entities (IMAS, IMJS), recently announced a partnership with the Space and Time Foundation to launch a new initiative that stores proof of education course completion on SXT Chain, enabling students to prove their credentials when applying for jobs or continuing their education. It also utilizes SXT, the native token of Space and Time, as the payment rails for seamless, direct, and verifiable access to education courses.

Today, UGM has become the first adopter of the joint initiative, opening the door for many future planned commercial programs. This partnership reflects UGM’s commitment to advancing digital innovation in education and responding to the emerging needs of Indonesia’s education industry through the integration of blockchain and artificial intelligence technologies.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Space and Time and Indomobil to develop together the digitization of educational experience our students have at Universitas Gadjah Mada,” Dr. Danang Sri Hadmoko, Vice Rector for Partnership at UGM. “By giving them the ability to build and deploy AI applications and prove what they’ve learned, Space and Time is helping us prepare our graduates to compete globally and lead in the next wave of technology. This industry-academia partnership enables UGM to be an AI-ready university in the long run.”

As part of the partnership, UGM is also introducing a new on-campus AI lab, complete with dedicated personnel and courses, to ensure its students are best positioned to enter an AI-powered world. The courses will teach students how to use Dreamspace, powered by Space and Time, to generate applications, monetize them using blockchain technology, and deploy them to a global community. As AI continues to take over jobs and industries, empowering the next generation to use it as a tool to own their future is more imperative than ever. Together, Space and Time, Indomobil, UGM, and Dreamspace are giving students in Indonesia the resources they need to win in the AI economy.

“We believe that AI and blockchain are the future, and we’re excited to provide access to these tools to the students at UGM in partnership with Indomobil,” said Scott Dykstra, co-founder and CTO of Space and Time. “Space and Time is empowering the next generation to create, prove, and own their work, and we’re thrilled to see adoption from the largest university in Indonesia.”

Dykstra visited the UGM campus today to sign the partnership into effect, along with executives from Indomobil.

“Indomobil is committed to supporting national development, and education is at the heart of that mission. Through our partnership with Space and Time, we’re empowering Indonesian students with world-class tools and global access, helping them build skills and credentials that open doors globally,” said Jusak Kertowidjojo, President Director of Indomobil Group.
