Madrid-founded (2013) digital identity and trust services provider, known for asynchronous video identification (video-in streaming with end-to-end biometric verification) combined with Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) services; served 250+ customers across 30 countries. The company was acquired by Signicat (backed by Nordic Capital) in July 2021 and has since been fully merged into Signicat, operating as "Electronic IDentification, a Signicat Company" rather than as an independent startup.
