About BHBAI
BHBAI™ is a consortium of institutional investors that unites The World’s Most Intelligent Enterprises through the BHI500™ and BHI50™ indices. Using ERP-sourced operational data, blockchain verification, and Symbiosis Score AI™ (SS/AI), BHBAI enables real-time collaboration, forecasting, and strategic alignment across 40 countries. Its mission is to accelerate intelligent industries, enhance cross-enterprise efficiency, and create sustainable value for investors, executives, and innovation leaders.
1. BHBAI Is Not a Client Relationship Entity
Blue Horizon Beyond AI (BHBAI) is a Swiss association constituted pursuant to Articles 60–79 of the Swiss Civil Code. It is an investor-driven body established to facilitate strategic collaboration among symbiotic enterprises leveraging artificial intelligence for the collective benefit of their shareholders.
2. BHBAI Does Not Levy Fees
BHBAI is financed exclusively by its board of institutional investors and is responsible for the selection of constituents for the BHI50 and BHI500 indices. In order to safeguard its neutrality, BHBAI is prohibited from accepting any form of payment or donation.
3. BHBAI Is Not a Company and Is Therefore Not Entered in the Swiss Commercial Register
Under Swiss law, associations are not subject to registration or publication requirements unless they meet specific statutory criteria, such as engaging in commercial activity and issuing invoices for goods or services. BHBAI does not meet these criteria.
4. BHBAI Supports Its Affiliated Charity Blue Horizon Mother & Child (BHM&C)
BHBAI contributes to BHM&C by donating its intellectual property, enabling royalty generation from IP assets assigned to selected AI enterprises that may offer services to BHM&C exclusively for the benefit of BHI500 Index Enterprises. Like BHBAI, BHM&C is a Swiss association organized under Articles 60–79 of the Swiss Civil Code.
5. BHBAI Does Not Purchase or Sell Products or Services From BHI500 Index Enterprises
BHBAI acts solely as a facilitator, connecting BHI500 enterprises with prospective clients and other index participants for the purpose of resource exchange. This process is supported by the Symbiosis Score AI system, which enables CFOs and department heads to enhance their scores by making resources available to, or by procuring goods and services from, other BHI500 enterprises.
6. BHBAI Is supervised by Its Board of Institutional Investors
The board is mandated to maximize shareholder value for BHI500 investors. It does not issue stock recommendations, grant interviews, publish governance documents, or engage with third parties outside the board. It does not exercise managerial functions. Its role is limited to the supervision of BHBAI’s President and elected officers.
7. BHBAI Is Established for Perpetual Duration and Is Governed by:
a. The Swiss Civil Code (ZGB), Articles 60–79, which set forth the legal framework applicable to the formation and governance of associations.
b. BHBAI’s Bylaws, which regulate membership, governance, decision-making processes, financial matters, elections, and internal organizational rules. Membership is restricted to institutional investors managing a significant portfolio of BHI500 securities.
c. Resolutions of the General Assembly, BHBAI’s supreme governing body, whose decisions are binding provided they comply with the bylaws and applicable law.
d. Internal Regulations, which set out operational procedures including financial policies, ethical standards, and board protocol.
e. Other Applicable Swiss Legislation, where relevant, including:
• the Swiss Code of Obligations (employment and contractual matters),
• data protection legislation (in the event personal data is processed), and
• tax provisions, particularly those governing the tax-exempt status of BHM&C.
