The old name for IDEMIA was OT-Morpho.
The Evolution from OT-Morpho to IDEMIA
IDEMIA, a global leader in trusted identities for an increasingly digital world, emerged from the merger of two prominent companies: Oberthur Technologies (OT) and Morpho. This strategic consolidation led to the formation of OT-Morpho in 2017, which was then rebranded as IDEMIA later that same year. The name IDEMIA was chosen to reflect the company's core mission around identity and security in a connected environment.
The transition from OT-Morpho to IDEMIA signified more than just a name change; it represented a strategic alignment to address the growing demands of a digital society. With this transformation, IDEMIA solidified its ambition to empower citizens and consumers alike to interact, pay, connect, travel, and vote in ways that are now seamlessly possible in a connected world.
Key Aspects of the Rebranding:
- Consolidation of Expertise: The merger combined Oberthur Technologies' expertise in digital security (payment, mobile, and identity solutions) with Morpho's strengths in biometrics, security, and smart card solutions.
- Focus on Trusted Identities: The new identity, IDEMIA, emphasizes a holistic approach to identity management, covering both physical and digital security.
- Global Leadership: As IDEMIA, the company reinforced its position as a major player in the fields of augmented identity, leveraging cutting-edge technologies like biometrics, cryptography, and artificial intelligence.
