IDEMIA completes the sale of IDEMIA Smart Identity to IN Groupe, reaching a new milestone in its strategic transformation

IDEMIA today announces the completion of the sale of IDEMIA Smart Identity (ISI) to IN Groupe, marking a decisive step in the execution of its strategy since the February 2024 reorganisation. The transaction is fully consistent with the Group’s ongoing refocus on its two strategic pillars: IDEMIA Secure Transactions and IDEMIA Public Security.

The Group is pressing ahead with its transformation with a clear objective: to accelerate growth in the strategic markets of biometrics and cryptography. We are proud to have supported IDEMIA Smart Identity on its remarkable growth journey in recent years. We thank its employees and wish them every success; their talent will now be leveraged within IN Groupe to create a global leader in secure-solutions.
