AXSionics AG provides a global IT security infrastructure solution, which allows companies and individuals, independently of each other, to authenticate identities and verify internet based transactions - in a very simple, elegant and economical manner. The solution is visible to its users through a single, really 'smart' card -the AXSionics Internet PassportTM - integrating multiple innovative security technologies including biometrics. It protects the user's privacy, as all biometric data remains exclusively on the Internet Passport and therefore under the users' complete control. The company was founded in 2003 as a Spin-off from the Berne University of Applied Sciences in Biel/Bienne and implements patented and award winning technologies. AXSionics operates globally and has sales partnerships with leading companies. AXSionics is member of the 'European Network of Excellence FIDIS', and is winner of Swiss ICT Award 2008, the RedDot Design Award 2009 as well the RedHerring 100 Europe Award.
