OriginTrail DKG has also been deployed in multiple EU-funded R&D projects with the aim to build a more neutral, inclusive, and user-friendly next generation Internet. Branimir has been particularly focused on networking problems throughout his career, spanning decentralized networks (apart from DKG he also has vast experience in Ethereum and Polkadot ecosystems), semantic networks and even mobile networks.

Being a strong advocate of open source and permissionless systems, Branimir is active in standards development working groups within GS1 and various blockchain communities, a member of the Serbian Entrepreneurs collective and an alumni H-Farm accelerator.
