Youniqx

What Youniqx does

Youniqx Identity AG, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Vienna, Austria, is a digital identity software company that operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Österreichische Staatsdruckerei GmbH (Austrian State Printing Company), a state-owned entity with over 220 years of heritage in producing high-security documents. The company builds digital identity infrastructure compliant with ISO/IEC 18013-5 mobile document standards, offering turn-key solutions (national digital ID wallets, mobile driver's licenses, ID verification apps) and modular SDKs (Holder SDK, Verifier SDK, ID Authenticator SDK). Its technology stack includes cryptographic selective-disclosure protocols, ICAO LDS2 PKI-based biometric QR code verification, a WCAG 2.2-compliant design system, and a NIS2/CSA-compliant Shielded Software Environment for managed cloud operations. The company also produces the chainlock hardware cold wallet for cryptocurrency storage within the parent company's high-security facility.

Youniqx operates as a B2B enterprise and government technology provider, generating revenue through government contracts, SDK licensing, professional services, and hardware sales. It wins business via competitive tenders rather than public pricing, with a primary go-to-market targeting national and local government agencies requiring citizen-facing digital identity systems. Its deployed platforms include Austria's eAusweise mobile ID wallet (launched 2022, serving mobile driver's license, vehicle registration, age verification, and student ID use cases), Liechtenstein's eID.li digital identity platform, and Germany's forthcoming EUDI Wallet infrastructure, for which Youniqx won a Europe-wide tender in December 2025. With 11–50 employees and over one million end users across its live deployments, the company's revenue model relies on multi-year government contracts, licensing fees for modular SDKs, and selective distribution partnerships (e.g., Coinfinity, Black Manta, bitbuy for chainlock).

Broad incumbents

• IDEMIA: IDEMIA is one of the world's largest government-issued identity providers, supplying passports, eID cards, and mobile driver's license solutions across multiple EU and OECD countries. Comparable to Youniqx on mobile documents and government eID, with much broader geographic footprint.
• Thales Group: Thales is a global leader in digital identity and security, with a major government ID business (passports, driver's licenses, border control) and active involvement in EUDI Wallet pilots. Directly comparable to Youniqx as a provider of government eID and mobile document infrastructure, but at vastly larger scale.
• Microsoft Entra Verified ID: Microsoft Entra Verified ID is a decentralized identity solution from a hyperscaler, integrated into the Microsoft Entra suite and active in EUDI Wallet discussions. Comparable to Youniqx as a potential EUDI Wallet competitor at scale, though oriented to enterprise customers via Microsoft 365 channels.
• Atos (Evidian): Atos / Evidian provides digital identity and access management solutions to public-sector and enterprise clients across Europe, including work on national eID programs. Comparable to Youniqx in government IAM and digital ID, with broader enterprise focus.

Direct peers

• Au10tix: Au10tix offers identity verification and KYC automation, including document and biometric authentication, used by financial institutions and digital platforms. Comparable to Youniqx's commercial identity verification offerings on the business side, less so on government-side national eID.
• Veridos: Veridos is a joint venture of Giesecke+Devrient and Bundesdruckerei specializing in government identity solutions for passports, eID, and mobile documents. Closest comparable to Youniqx in mission and customer base, competing head-to-head in European government tenders including EUDI Wallet deployments.

Emerging players

• Cryptomathic: Cryptomathic provides cryptographic identity and key management infrastructure for eID, e-signature, and digital identity ecosystems. Comparable to Youniqx on the underlying cryptographic/KYC infrastructure layer, with overlapping ICAO and eIDAS-standardized products.
