Munich-based identity pioneer looks back on ten years of revolutionizing the KYC space and doubles down on reusable identities and trust services
MUNICH, June 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — IDnow, a leading platform provider for identity verification in Europe, is looking back on ten successful years of revolutionizing the German and European Know-Your-Customer (KYC) market and is now doubling down on reusable identities and trust services. Founded in 2014 by Armin Bauer, Sebastian Bärhold, Felix Haas and Dennis von Ferenczy, the Munich-based company’s flagship product at the time was the revolutionary VideoIdent, which had just been allowed by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin).

 
A platform with automated and expert-led solutions that serves all needs
Since then, a variety of solutions have been added to the portfolio, following market needs and technological trends: the AI-supported, fully automated AutoIdent solution was introduced in 2018, followed by the electronic function of the German ID card (eID) in 2019. Just last year, IDnow introduced ShopIdent, the onsite solution for identification in German petrol stations and stores. The transaction figures prove the success of these solutions: Over 13.2 million transactions have been processed via IDnow AutoIdent, while the scale-up looks back on another 13 million successfully identified users with VideoIdent to date.
In 2019, Andreas Bodczek was appointed as CEO at IDnow: “We have made it our mission over the past five years to actively shape and lead our industry and show our customers why digital identities are essential to their business. In the last decade, we have grown into a platform provider that serves all market needs with the help of the latest technology. We have earned the trust of our customers because we focus on our core business every day without losing sight of the secular trends that are shaping the market.”
Munich-based scale-up has long been one of the largest European players
In 2021, increased expansion opportunities led IDnow to acquire the French market leader for identity verification technology, ARIADNEXT, and the German provider identity Trust Management AG, establishing IDnow as one of the largest European players in the identity industry.
In addition to its traditional financial and telecommunications applications, new growth areas for IDnow have opened up in the mobility and travel industry, online dating, gaming, human resources and social media. Although user needs and regulatory requirements differ greatly from traditional industries, the desire for increased trust in digital transactions has grown across territories, regardless of the use case.
Reusable identities and trust services determine the future
The digital identity industry is facing a paradigm shift due to regulations, such as eIDAS 2.0 at the European level or announced changes to the Videoident regulation in Germany. With its more than 900 trusted customers, the company aims to leverage these relationships and take them to the next level by building up its own trust service and a digital identity pool of several million users in the next few years. In doing so, the scale-up intends to lead the way in the transformation of the digital identity market heralded by eIDAS 2.0: European trust services, reusable identities and a fully integrated, broad product portfolio form the basis of the company’s long-term product strategy.
“Today, we are facing a fundamental transformation of our industry – away from the one-time verification process and towards reusable identities – and we will once again lead this revolution,” Bodczek says. “Since its founding, IDnow, with its broad and continually evolving portfolio, has shown a great deal of foresight, resiliency, and adaptability to market developments. With a team of over 450 highly skilled colleagues across ten offices in Europe, we are already one of the largest players in the identity industry. The experience, expertise, and innovation drive that we have assembled in-house make us extremely optimistic about the next ten years of our company and the industry at large,” he concludes.

The IDnow platform provides a broad portfolio of identity verification solutions, ranging from automated to human-assisted from purely online to point-of-sale, each of them optimized for user conversion rates and security.
In 2021, IDnow acquired the French market leader for identity technology, ARIADNEXT, and the German identity Trust Management AG, enabling IDnow to offer its customers one of the broadest identification solutions through a single, integrated platform.

The ICA Compliance Awards celebrate excellence in compliance and financial crime prevention, and Lucinity’s Generative AI copilot, Luci, stood out for its significant impact on operational efficiency.

 
Luci, launched in 2023, transforms complex financial data into actionable insights using generative AI.

These features allow compliance teams to shift their focus from manual tasks to higher-level decision-making.
To further enhance its offerings, Lucinity recently launched the Luci plugin, enabling seamless integration with any web-based application. The plugin is platform agnostic, allowing it to be incorporated into various tech stacks, including case management systems and CRMs. Financial institutions can immediately benefit from AI and automation, leading to a more efficient and consistent workforce and productivity boosts of up to 90%.
Lucinity continues to ensure maximum security and responsible AI development through its integration with Microsoft’s OpenAI on Azure. Lucinity also recently launched the Luci Studio where users can customize their AI copilots in a no-code, drag-and-drop user interface, providing full explainability for the actions that AI takes. 
Founder and CEO of Lucinity, Guðmundur Kristjánsson, expressed his gratitude, stating, “2023 and 2024 have been transformative years for Lucinity.

Vivity is expanding globally, landing customers in the United States, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, as heavy industry customers span geographies yet work similarly around the world.
SAN ANTONIO, July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Frost & Sullivan assessed Industrial AI for heavy industry, and based on its findings, recognizes Vivity AI Inc. with the 2024 Global Entrepreneurial Company of the Year Award. The company offers industry-specific AI products with its data expertise in the heavy industry. It developed an end-to-end AI platform based on 3 pillars: Vivity Edge to identify and track processes, Vivity Analytics to analyze data and obtain actionable insights, and Vivity Studio to manage and operate AI. It offers incremental steps—from Edge to Analytics to Studio, helping customers set up their own data science or AI team once they are ready to proceed. Vivity Edge is lightweight and focuses on point use cases initially so that customers can quickly deploy it in a few months without having to set up a whole data collection pipeline.

Vivity Edge provides highly reliable failure detection with a low false alarm rate and cost-effective deployment, whereas Vivity Analytics comes with state-of-the-art generative AI and LLM. The built-in data quality analyzer of Vivity Analytics relies on understanding the heavy industry’s metal working processes. Focused on heavy industry customers, Vivity has found a blue space opportunity where it leverages AI to help transform this sector. Vivity’s multiple algorithms work in extreme video stabilization under different conditions, such as sunlight, shade, and extreme vibration because the environment is often harsh. The company leverages its connections and expertise to create good reference cases and develop its AI technology for heavy industry.
Sankara Narayanan, Industry Director, Frost & Sullivan, observed “General-purpose MLOps or out-of-the-box AI platforms designed for the manufacturing sector cannot solve the kind of problems that heavy industries face. Here is where Vivity excels. The company built its AI platform from the ground up for particular verticals of heavy industry, making many of the technologies’ core features competitive differentiators, including extreme video stabilization, multi-modal response, smart and dynamic ROI computation, operation condition identification, and hyper-feature detection.”
Vivity has a fairly large computer vision team with staff from leading companies such as Cognex and Samsung, and technologies horizontally applicable in construction and logistics.

The company has grown significantly in the last 18 months and continues to expand globally on its way to become the AI platform of choice for heavy industry customers worldwide,” added Sankara Narayanan. Vivity earns Frost & Sullivan’s 2024 Global Entrepreneurial Company of the Year Award for its strong overall performance in the industrial AI for heavy industry space.
