BioRugged has joined the International Border Management and Technology Association (IBMATA) as a corporate member. The association focuses on bringing together biometric and identity management providers from government and private companies to review and analyze the latest requirements and challenges in the border control market.

By joining IBMATA, BioRugged will now contribute to non-profit organizations based on its experience in biometric voter registration and verification, Know Your Customer (KYC) and national ID registration projects.

"IBMATA provides an excellent forum to get opinions directly from experts and policy makers." Commented on Arnd Langguth, CEO of BioRugged.

"Collecting exact requirements and detailed usage procedures is the first step in our product development process."

According to the CEO, BioRugged products are sold by global system integrators, so it is important for the company to access end users on a non-commercial basis through IBMATA.

"Any product in the border control market will first be based on the ease of use by officials in a wide range of usage scenarios," Langguth added.

Tony Smith CBE, Chairman of IBMATA and former Director-General of the British Border Forces, agreed with Langus's view. He explained that Border Force officials are constantly adapting to new risks and problems. It is important that the private and public sectors support them in their missions.

"Biorugged brings specific mobile and biometric features to border control, which are becoming more and more important in the world of modern border management strategies," Smith concludes.

BioRugged's announcement to join IBMATA was released a few days after the company launched its new biometric product at the Trustech 2021 event in Paris, France.
