Toppan Gravity Partners with MOSIP As a Biometric Solution Provider and System Integrator
Dubai, August 2022–TOPPAN Gravity, a TOPPAN Company, and UAE-based global secure solutions provider, collaborates with the Modular Open Source Identity Platform (MOSIP), a robust, scalable, and inclusive foundational identity platform, to support governments in implementing a digital, foundational ID in a cost-effective way.
MOSIP (Modular Open Source Identity Platform) is an affordable, scalable, and customisable software solution that has the potential to drastically transform the landscape of digital identity technology solutions. Through the power of open source, nations across the globe can use this digital identity system to create their own robust digital identity.
MOSIP was built on a strong foundation of principles that prioritise security and privacy. With over 70 million people already registered on MOSIP-based systems, the platform allows the secure collection of demographic and biographic information of the end user to determine and issue a digital identity.
A wisely-designed ID programme can provide significant benefits in terms of financial and social inclusion, in particular. By enabling access to digital services, digital identity promotes value-creation through increased inclusion and contributes to reducing fraud. Proper use of digital identity protects citizens’ rights and increases transparency, while having a positive impact on GDP growth, especially for emerging economies.
Toppan Gravity is in a unique position as it is fulfilling MOSIP’s requirements as System Integrator and as Biometric Solution Provider as well.
“MOSIP is one of the most exciting developments in the Identity space, and Toppan Gravity is at the heart of it. With an unparalleled commitment to the Open-Source Initiative, we are proud to have joined the MOSIP Partner Programme. Toppan Gravity is dedicated to supporting countries in mitigating challenges related to adopting new technology and vendor lock-in, facilitating international cooperation and knowledge transfer.” says Nicolas Jaouen, VP Solutions.
Commenting on Toppan Gravity becoming a MOSIP Partner, Nagarajan Santhanam, Chief Dissemination Officer, MOSIP said: “We are pleased to have Toppan Gravity as a part of the MOSIP community, as one of the MOSIP-trained System Integrators under the MOSIP Partner Programme, and a provider of compliant biometric solutions. We are confident that new countries adopting MOSIP for the implementation of their ID systems can make use of the experience and track record that Toppan brings to the Identity space. We are thrilled to be working with Toppan, along with all other ecosystem partners, on upcoming projects.”
