PR82762

PARIS, Feb 5, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

IN Groupe (formerly Imprimerie Nationale), a world specialist in identity and

secure digital services, entered into a share purchase agreement, as of

February 2020, to acquire Nexus the European leader in enabling trusted digital

identities for people and things. The completion of the transaction is subject

to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the course of the

first quarter of 2020.

Nexus provides secure solutions that make it easy to issue, manage and make valuable

use of trusted identities for both people and things. The company specialises in software

that empowers a smooth, automated and governed solution to manage the full lifecycle

of both physical and digital identities for both people and objects. These solutions include

a powerful Public Key Infrastructure  (PKI platform), Card Management System (CMS),

mobile and desktop-based identity apps (middleware) and a digital access gateway.

The integration of these new digital identity solutions will enable the group

to provide clients in France, Europe and globally a consolidated portfolio of

differentiated offers, based on cutting edge technologies. The combined set of

technologies will ensure that IN Groupe’s services for governments and corporate

customers are more secure, more robust and more competitive than ever.

IN Groupe continues its transformation as a European-based, global identity

leader dedicated to the transition from physical to digital identity

For 10 years, IN Groupe has demonstrated its unique ability to transform its

business in keeping with the digital evolution of the identity sector. Today,

the acquisition of Nexus represents a new stage in consolidating IN Groupe’s

technological capabilities after the acquisition of SURYS in December 2019.

The acquisition of Nexus gives IN Groupe, a state operator for identity,

the ability to lead the transition from physical to digital identity in the

European regulatory environment.

Furthermore, IN Groupe expands its activities into the field of IoT and the

identification of objects on the internet – such as connected cars. Nexus is

known for being the world leader when it comes to certificate-based identity

services enabling the future of autonomous cars and V2X.

IN Groupe will give Nexus access to its world class capability to integrate

global legal and digital identity systems. It will also introduce new opportunities

with respect to an international complementary customer portfolio.
