Datavault AI (NASDAQ: DVLT) has entered into a partnership with 21 In Right Inc., the entity managing the name, image and likeness (NIL) of Baseball Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente, to apply its data valuation, monetization and digital twin technologies to preserve and expand Clemente’s legacy. The announcement, made on June 26, 2026, highlights the growing intersection of artificial intelligence and sports heritage management.
Under the agreement, 21 In Right will leverage Datavault AI’s platforms to manage and protect Clemente’s NIL rights, create digital twins and archives, and develop new fan engagement initiatives in collaboration with the Roberto Clemente Foundation and other aligned organizations. The companies also plan to launch a fan activation in Philadelphia beginning in July, featuring demonstrations of Datavault AI’s artificial intelligence tools, Clemente-themed digital collectibles and tributes celebrating the baseball legend’s legacy of excellence and community service.
This partnership underscores the potential of AI-driven data experiences in the Web 3.0 environment. Datavault AI’s cloud-based platform provides comprehensive solutions through its Acoustic Sciences and Data Sciences divisions. The Acoustic Sciences division features patented technologies for wireless, high-definition sound transmission, while the Data Science division leverages Web 3.0 and high-performance computing for data perception, valuation and secure monetization. The company’s platform serves multiple industries, including sports and entertainment, events, biotech, education, fintech, real estate, healthcare, energy and more.
The Information Data Exchange enables digital twins and the licensing of NIL by securely attaching physical real-world objects to immutable metadata, fostering responsible AI with integrity. This technology is fully customizable and offers AI- and machine-learning-based automation, third-party integration, detailed analytics, marketing automation and advertising monitoring.
For leaders in business and technology, this collaboration illustrates how digital twin and NIL technologies can be applied to preserve cultural icons and create new revenue streams. The use of AI to manage and monetize a deceased celebrity’s NIL rights sets a precedent for similar applications with other historical figures. The fan activation in Philadelphia will serve as a test case for engaging audiences through immersive digital experiences, potentially reshaping how sports legends are commemorated and how fans interact with their legacies.
Datavault AI is headquartered in Philadelphia, PA. More information about the company can be found at https://dvlt.ai. The full press release is available at https://ibn.fm/Crn7j.
