Building on the huge success of Biometrics MENA Summit, we bring you Biometrics Africa Summit 2021, as Biometric Solutions has been rapidly growing in the African Countries. Innovative technologies have enabled countries in Africa to advance from old technologies and shift to modern innovations.
The African biometrics market is forecasted to grow at an annual rate of 21%, with the global biometrics industry set to reach US$82 billion by 2027, according to the “Biometrics – Global Market Trajectory & Analytics 2020” report published by US-based research firm Global Industry Analysts.
African businesses and governments similarly have made major innovations in recent years in applying biometric systems. With e-passports being issued in more than 50 nations in Africa, it is evident that there is a clear effort to spread the use of biometric-based identification across Africa. In 2020, the government of Tanzania also made it compulsory for all SIM card customers in the country to register their SIM cards biometrically, makingmost of citizens now having a biometric ID.
The Biometrics Africa Summit shifts focus on key challenges of the biometric industry such as implementation and adoption of biometric tech for smart cities’ development, increase in identity theft, role of biometrics in a seamless digital era and regulatory challenges in private sector adoption and usage of biometrics. Delegates will experience a power-packed agenda consisting of presentations, panel discussions and keynotes from globally renowned speakers, panelists, and moderators.
