Elyctis Opens Subsidiary in Senegal

After Hong Kong and India, secure identity company Elyctis is opening an Africa subsidiary in Senegal, to cover the booming African eID market.

This market is becoming a hotbed of identity expansion and innovation. In order to sustain this growth with a permanent presence in the field, Elyctis is opening to provide better services to its African customers.

The countries of the Economic Community of West African States (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, Cote d’Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo) have adopted a common standard for national eID cards, based on the ICAO specification, that guarantees interoperability between countries.

Senegal and Cote d’Ivoire, for example, have a high penetration rate of these eID cards, allowing the development of more citizen services.
