Why This Merger Matters
4sure Technology Solutions brings together decades of experience and a deep understanding of the digital trust stack, from foundational open-source libraries to scalable enterprise-grade solutions. Northern Block's expertise spans government and private sector engagements, with a strong focus on high-value credential ecosystems. Sphereon complements this with extensive investments in over 100 open-source libraries now used by many implementers worldwide and a strong background in automation.

Building on this foundation, the merger empowers enterprises and governments to achieve transformative benefits through trusted, high-quality data.
