Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is delivered through quote-based, multi-year enterprise contracts consistent with a B2G/B2B sales motion. The company generates demand through direct enterprise field sales, a global service network, and active participation in identity-industry events such as Identity Week Europe, ID4Africa, and MOSIP Connect. Recent strategic activity centers on international expansion (Europe, Africa), a 2026 strategic partnership with Covestro for advanced credential materials, and positioning around AI-driven digital identity ecosystems and ESG recognition as a Shenzhen Top 50 leading company.
