Scaling Trust

Backed by nearly £50m, this programme sits within the Trust Everything, Everywhere opportunity space and seeks to create the capability for AI agents to securely coordinate, negotiate, and verify with one another on our behalf.

Arena

At the heart of the programme will be the Scaling Trust Arena: a platform for open competitions designed to test AI systems’ capabilities in multi-agent coordination across digital and physical worlds, with a multi-million pound prize pool for the strongest teams.

The Arena is planned to launch in Q3 2026. We’ll be putting out a call for a technical partner to build and deliver the Arena in the coming weeks. If you’re interested in applying, please submit your expression of interest here so we can let you know as soon as the call is live.
