ID2020

ID2020 is a global alliance founded in 2014 with the aim of addressing the issue faced by over one billion people, including millions of vulnerable demographics such as children, women, and refugees, who lack recognized identification. The absence of official identification leaves individuals invisible and excluded from essential services such as healthcare, education, banking, and voting, adding to their vulnerability to exploitation. This underscores the critical need for accurate population data to effectively deliver fundamental human services. The consortium, comprising governments, NGOs, and the private sector, leverages a collaborative approach to develop technology driven by the needs of individuals and countries, aligning policies with the latest innovations. The alliance coordinates funding for identity initiatives, directing resources to high-impact projects, thereby enabling diverse stakeholders including UN agencies, NGOs, governments, and enterprises to pursue a coordinated approach for efficient implementation at scale. ID2020's motto "Improving lives through digital identity" epitomizes its commitment to leveraging technology for the greater good, ensuring that the most marginalized populations are not left behind. The company's headquarter is located in the United States. Despite the lack of information on its latest investment, the potential for societal impact and the collaboration with global organizations signal an encouraging trajectory for ID2020.
