What Partisia does

Partisia is a Danish applied cryptography company headquartered in Aarhus with roots at Aarhus University. It builds privacy-first decentralized identity infrastructure using Multi-Party Computation (MPC), zero-knowledge proofs, and blockchain, enabling organizations to issue and verify credentials (age, residency, professional status) without ever seeing or storing the underlying personal data. Its technology stack includes a proprietary ZK Rust language for writing MPC computations and quantum-safe key distribution where keys never exist at a single node. The company operates through a self-deployed model in which the platform runs inside customer infrastructure with no Partisia servers in the data path.

The company sells a credential platform alongside three named product lines: VisitorPass (digital guest check-in with touchless scanning and audited access logs), AgeVerify (an embeddable zero-knowledge age gate for regulated retailers, streaming, and gaming platforms), and the Partisia ID Wallet and PBC Wallet mobile applications. It targets financial institutions, banking consortia, government, healthcare, regulated retail, and streaming/gaming verticals, with explicit use cases in cross-institution fraud detection and AML using federated learning. Operations span offices in Aarhus, Copenhagen, Tokyo, and Bogotá, with approximately 75 employees.

Partisia generates revenue through platform licensing, verification services, and enterprise deployments of decentralized identity infrastructure on a recurring/subscription basis, with a stated transition from project-driven to product-driven go-to-market in 2026. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales, an API/SDK channel for developers, and a partnership-led regional channel — notably the April 2026 alliance with Trust Stamp and Digital Platformer for Japan and broader Asia-Pacific. The company is privately held (Partisia Applications ApS), was selected for the EU's EIC Accelerator program in March 2026 (qualifying for up to €2.5 million in grants and €15 million in investment or loan guarantees), and is GDPR-compliant with strong alignment to eIDAS 2.0 and the European Digital Identity Wallet framework.

Core offering

Partisia builds a privacy-first decentralized identity infrastructure platform that issues and verifies credentials (age, residency, professional status) without ever seeing or storing the underlying personal data. The platform combines Multi-Party Computation, zero-knowledge proofs, and blockchain to enable secure data collaboration across institutions. Standalone products include VisitorPass (digital guest check-in), AgeVerify (embeddable age gate), the Partisia ID Wallet (mobile credential management), and the PBC Wallet (self-custody digital asset wallet).

Product overview

Partisia offers a privacy-first decentralized identity infrastructure platform with three main products: VisitorPass (digital guest check-in), AgeVerify (embeddable age verification), and Platform (the underlying credential platform). The company also provides Partisia ID Wallet (mobile app for credential management), Confidential Computing (secure MPC-based computation), and My Data Activation (verifiable credentials with DIDs). All products are built on Multi-Party Computation and zero-knowledge proofs, enabling credential verification without exposing underlying personal data. The architecture supports self-deployed infrastructure with no Partisia servers in the data path.

Products and services

• Platform The credential platform underlying both VisitorPass and AgeVerify, enabling enterprises to build custom verification flows with zero-knowledge proofs, credential issuance, verification primitives, optional wallet integration, self-deployed infrastructure, and enterprise integration via REST API, webhooks, and SSO. Designed for enterprises that need to verify user attributes without seeing or storing underlying personal data.
• VisitorPass Complete digital guest check-in solution featuring touchless check-in, QR code scanning, audited access logs, and automatic host notifications. Deploys in an afternoon for enterprise access control at offices, data centers, and restricted facilities.
• AgeVerify Embeddable age verification gate for regulated retailers, streaming services, and gaming platforms. Uses zero-knowledge proofs by default to verify age without revealing name, exact birthday, or address, with an auditable compliance record.
• Partisia ID Wallet Mobile application enabling users to receive verifiable credentials, present verifiable credentials or subset claims, and view historic activity. Non-custodial wallet where private keys are stored only on device in a secure element, supporting decentralized identity use cases.
• PBC Wallet

Quantifiable outcome

• Biometric data is tokenized on users' devices and processed so no single party has access to complete identity data at any point

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• Trust StampcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 23 April 2026Commercial agreement to develop and deploy decentralized identity technologies for financial services and regulated sectors in Japan and broader Asia-Pacific markets. The joint solution combines Trust Stamp's biometric tokenization technology (Fuzzy IT²) with Partisia's multi-party computation platform, enabling biometric data to be processed without any single party accessing complete identity data.
• Digital PlatformercoreTechnology or Integration · 23 April 2026Strategic integration partner that will integrate the combined Trust Stamp and Partisia technology into its identity platform, initially focusing on Japan where digital transformation has increased demand for secure and interoperable identity systems across banking, insurance, healthcare, and government sectors.
