The DNY Stack

One group, five layers

DNY is not a collection of unrelated projects. Each layer builds on the one below it — from a verifiable trust foundation to independent ventures — so every drone, robot, agent and industry solution inherits the same data governance, identity and audit.

  1. Applied Ventures & Industry SolutionsIndependent ventures and industry projectsFocused ventures and industry projects — drones, robotics, logistics, construction, trade and media — each with its own customers and business model, built on shared group infrastructure.
  2. OPC + FDE NetworkTalent, nodes and industry deliveryLocal OPC nodes (Office + AI Agents) and Forward Deployed Entrepreneurs that turn infrastructure into real industry solutions — from proof of concept to deployment.
  3. Open Physical Intelligence LayerConnecting AI to the physical worldThe unified connection layer between trusted AI and real devices — drones, robots, edge systems, vision and sensor networks — vendor-neutral and auditable.
  4. Trusted & Open AI InfrastructureDigital intelligence infrastructureOpen models, AI agents, APIs and private or hybrid deployment — multi-model, multi-cloud and licence-aware, operated as an accountable Australian service.
  5. Trusted Data, Identity & Verification FoundationWhat makes every layer verifiableA Trusted Data Space with provenance, permissions, versioning, identity and audit — so data, models, devices and decisions can be traced and verified.
Why DNY Is Different

From digital AI to physical intelligence

The next stage of AI is not only generating content. It is sensing the real world, deciding and acting — and proving that each step was authorised.

Software AI

Understands and decides

Open models and AI agents interpret data, plan tasks and make decisions within defined permissions.

Physical Intelligence

Perceives and acts

Drones, robots, edge devices and vision systems sense the environment and carry out work in it.

Trusted AI

Proves it

Provenance, identity, permissions and audit show which data, model, agent and device did what — and on whose authority.

Perceive

Sensors, vision and drones capture the physical environment.

Sensors · Vision · Drones

Understand

Models interpret signals against trusted, versioned data.

Models · Data

Decide

AI agents plan the next action within defined permissions.

AI Agents

Act

Robots, drones and devices execute the task.

Robots · Drones · Devices

Verify

Identity, permissions, logs and audit confirm what happened.

OPC + FDE Network

Turning infrastructure into real industry solutions

Infrastructure only creates value when it is deployed. The OPC + FDE network is how DNY gets from proof of concept to production.

OPC — Office + AI Agents — local business nodes that combine workspace, AI agent capability and market connections. Not a conventional co-working space.

FDE — Forward Deployed Entrepreneurs — people who work directly on real customer problems, pairing industry knowledge with DNY infrastructure to deliver deployed solutions.

Focused ventures on shared infrastructure

Each venture keeps its own customers and business model while reusing the group's trusted AI and physical intelligence infrastructure.

FAQ

DNY at a glance

What is DNY Cross Border Group?

DNY Cross Border Group is an Australia-led technology and commercialisation group, headquartered in Sydney, that builds trusted, open AI infrastructure and connects it with the physical economy through drones, robotics, edge systems and industry ventures.

Is DNY a single AI platform or a group?

A group. DNY is organised in layers: a group holding layer, Trusted & Open AI Infrastructure, the Open Physical Intelligence Layer, the OPC + FDE delivery network, and Applied Ventures that operate as focused businesses on that shared infrastructure.

Does DNY train its own foundation model?

No. DNY works at the commercialisation layer — selecting, evaluating, integrating, governing and operating suitable open and open-weight models — rather than competing to train a frontier model.

What do the project status labels mean?

Operating means live with customers; In Development means being designed, built or validated; Proposed means a defined concept awaiting partners, approvals or funding; Research means exploratory; Partnership Opportunity means open to a partner to lead or co-develop.
