Tagsmart has spent the last 10+ years researching, developing, and refining solutions for secure provenance. Our products and services aim to protect artist legacy, collector investments, and gallery sales by creating a platform grounded in convenience and dependability.

"We enhance the value of the things you create and care about, by saving useful, validated and verifiable information about them for future generations."

We're a boutique service at heart. Every one of our members has their own way of working, of creating and of recording those creations.

Our Paper Certificates use print and security that does not rely on digital systems; working with national institutions and academic partners to develop long term (500+ years) provenance records that are independent of our technology and corporate structure. Our Digital Certificate counterparts can be filed on public blockchains and we supply provenance keys for NFT projects.

We believe in freeing information from enclosed, proprietary systems - and that includes ours. We are committed to developing more open and transparent systems, giving our members complete control of their own information and processes.

The Aldridge Foundation is a charity built on a desire to open the minds of young people, equipping them with essential, transferable employability and life skills and developing an enterprising mindset so that they will have the ability to create better life chances for themselves. And become catalysts for positive change in their communities.

At the Aldridge Foundation they believe that enterprising attributes and an entrepreneurial mindset can help you succeed, even when the odds are stacked against you. Skills and traits that go beyond traditional education and can help young people experiencing deprivation to aim high and push beyond the obstacles and barriers that others don’t have to face. They call these Aldridge Attributes.

These life and employability skills are developed and nurtured through experiences and opportunities that are often inaccessible if you come from a deprived or challenging background.
