New AI Deal With Velio

Brand Engagement Network last week announced a strategic partnership with Valio Technologies to establish an exclusive AI licensing framework for government and commercial markets across Africa. 

The agreement is anchored by a $2.05 million preferred equity investment, under which BNAI will hold a 25% equity stake in a newly formed South Africa–based joint venture, receive a 35% revenue share across offerings, get an exclusive license for government and private-sector markets across Africa, and perpetual term with right of first refusal on any sale.

The partnership included a memorandum of understanding with Nelson Mandela University to pilot a governed, AI-powered mental health support initiative for students, operating in a secure, institution-approved environment. 

The deal marked BNAI’s second major international AI licensing agreement, highlighting growing global demand for regulated, trustworthy AI solutions.
