Ethereum is a platform and a programming language that makes it possible for any developer to build and publish next-generation decentralized applications.
Ethereum can be used to codify, decentralize, secure and trade just about anything: voting, domain names, financial exchanges, crowdfunding, company governance, contracts and agreements of most kind, intellectual property, and even smart property thanks to hardware integration.
Ethereum borrows the concept of decentralized consensus that makes bitcoin so resilient, yet makes it trivial to build on its foundation. To find out more about how Ethereum works, consult the whitepaper.

Creators of Hyperledger, the decentralised ledger platform for the real world.
Hyperledger is a decentralised asset registry. By securely replicating ledgers across nodes owned by multiple known entities, availability and data integrity can be ensured. No single entity has the power to manipulate data on the ledgers without the consent of the account holders on that ledger, which is secured through advanced cryptography.
This means that anyone can issue a digitally secure asset that can be held directly by end users and traded on a peer to peer basis. Hyperledger's great flexibility allows ledger owners variable control over accounts and transfers on that ledger: you can create a public, international ledger open to anyone, right down to a private ledger in a specific country that only pre-approved account holders can join.
