US Tech Firms Eye Morocco’s New Electronic ID Card Project

American companies could position themselves to provide some of the technologies needed to manufacture the latest generation identity card that Morocco plans to make available to the population by 2020. Officials from the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) assure that the manufacture and design of the new Electronic National Identity Card (CNIE) are 100% Moroccan. But the Americans are showing more than a pronounced interest in this market.
It is the network of American experts in exports that has informed American companies about this important market, even if the details of the financial cost are not yet known.
According to Aujourd’hui.ma, for a few months now, this network responsible in particular for facilitating the sales of American companies around the world has been trying to mobilize its troops.
And, it is counting on the market for the realization of the new Moroccan identity card which, according to experts, will be at the forefront of technology. Thus, the DGSN, according to the newspaper, plans to deploy significant resources.
The aim for it is to bring itself in line with the rapid evolution of technologies and the democratization of their use by Moroccan citizens in everyday procedures, not to mention the increasingly important risks related to fraud and identity theft.
For her part, the Coordinator and Project Monitoring Manager, Salwa Jmila, said that the new generation of the CNIE is equipped with the latest security technologies, thus facilitating its authentication and making it more difficult to falsify, thanks to its various levels of visual, digital and physical security.
In terms of aesthetics, the new generation of the CNIE is characterized by a unique design inspired by the identity of the Kingdom. From the "Hassan" Tower to the "Mohammed VI" Bridge, passing through the "Hassan II" Mosque, emblematic symbols of a country attached to its heritage and its secular identity, and open to modernity, the new CNIE thus embodies today’s Morocco, a country rich in its history and its culture, and irreversibly turned towards the future.
