I think not, most likely it means that traceto will provide them business services and may be + advising services.
Great example is a partnership with the Bridgex Network project : "By partnering with us, BridgeX Network can be confident that they are operating under the highest industry standards of KYC compliance going forward. BridgeX Network has also invited Mr. Chionh Chye Kit, Managing Director of Cynopsis, Founder and CEO of traceto.io to join its Board of Advisors."
