- Accenture joins the Hedera Council, becoming a governing member with equal voting rights and responsibility for operating a network node.
- The partnership focuses on using Hedera’s public network to build trusted, transparent infrastructure for scaling agentic AI in regulated enterprises.
- Accenture is already developing a Hedera-based solution with governance tools from EQTY Lab for public service organizations, as detailed in their recent announcement.
- The move underscores enterprise demand for auditable digital ledgers to manage AI-driven automation and compliance.
On April 30, the Hedera Council announced a major governance expansion by welcoming global professional services giant Accenture as its newest member. Consequently, Accenture will now help govern the Hedera public network, operate a consensus node, and hold equal voting rights on the council.
This membership directly addresses growing enterprise demand for trusted infrastructure to secure agentic AI at scale. Accenture will collaborate with the council to deliver trust-based solutions for financial institutions, governments, and large corporations. “The pace of agent-driven automation requires that enterprises reinvent their approaches to trust,” said Bryan Rich, Accenture’s global data and AI lead.
He further explained that Hedera’s public network enables transparent and auditable transactions for regulated entities. Hedera Council Chairman Mance Harmon stated, “Accenture brings deep experience helping enterprises navigate change, and their perspective will help accelerate meaningful adoption.”
Meanwhile, Accenture is leveraging its distributed Ledger technology experience across sectors like finance and supply chain. The firm is exploring how agentic AI on Hedera can be applied for digital asset tokenization and AI-driven payments. Ultimately, this addition strengthens the council as a globally distributed body ensuring the network remains secure and enterprise-ready.
