According to CoinMeta, Per Ansgar, the CEO of Geely Sweden Holding Company, has been appointed as a member of the board of directors of the Concordium Foundation. The aim is to strengthen the relationship between this blockchain platform and the Geely Group, as well as to promote infrastructure development for verified digital interactions and autonomous AI agents. Ansgar possesses over 26 years of experience in the automotive and financial sectors, having held senior positions at Volvo Cars, Polestar, and several companies within the Geely Group. This appointment also continues the partnership between Concordium and Geely that began in 2021, initially focusing on autonomous driving, which was formalized in 2022 through a joint venture in Wuxi, China. This collaboration has also explored use cases where vehicles can initiate payments directly with infrastructure and service providers via machines. Concordium is currently expanding its focus on verified digital interaction infrastructure, including transactions involving AI agents. Ansgar states that vehicles and the software embedded in them are increasingly becoming participants in transactions, and trust now requires verification of who authorizes payments and who is responsible for them.
