IDAI subsidiary secures role in EU’s €2B IPCEI AST initiative, integrating biometric identity verification with next-gen semiconductor hardware.
Trust Stamp Inc’s Maltese subsidiary will participate in the EU’s Important Project of Common European Interest on Advanced Semiconductor Technologies (IPCEI AST), a €2 billion initiative to bolster Europe’s semiconductor sovereignty. The project aims to accelerate development and deployment of next-generation chip technologies through industry-research collaboration across the EU.
The company’s selection follows its proposal to integrate privacy-first identity technology with semiconductor hardware, binding device identity to verified human users. Two cooperation agreements, running from 2027 to 2032 pending approval, will focus on a secure semiconductor identity platform and AI-assisted neural-signal data processing with hardware-level authentication.
Trust Stamp’s involvement is supported by Malta Enterprise, positioning its biometric tokenization and memristor-based security within the EU’s broader push for resilient semiconductor supply chains.
