Simprints

At the heart of Simprints is a mission to transform the way the world fights poverty and disease. Born out of the University of Cambridge, Simprints is a non-profit technology company dedicated to building and deploying technology for good. The team, a passionate, dedicated, and creative group of individuals spread across 15 countries, comes together to radically increase transparency and effectiveness in global development. They strive to ensure that every vaccine, every dollar, and every public good reaches the people who need them most. Simprints develops biometric technology solutions, including fingerprint and contactless facial recognition, designed for governments, NGOs, and healthcare workers to quickly and accurately connect with patients, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where formal identification is often lacking.

Simprints' culture is one of innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning, deeply rooted in ethical principles and a commitment to privacy. They champion privacy as a human right, adhering to GDPR standards in all projects and advocating for higher privacy standards within the global development community. The company's open-source approach allows partners who share their vision to utilize Simprints' products to overcome identification challenges, unlock data insights, and amplify the impact of their mobile data collection platforms. This collaborative spirit extends to their work with partners on the ground, co-creating solutions that are inclusive and tailored to the 'last mile' – the hardest-to-reach populations. By focusing on these communities from the outset, Simprints designs technology built to the highest engineering standards for harsh field conditions, unreliable internet, and limited electricity. Their ultimate goal is to empower countries to maximize existing resources and achieve more with less, fostering long-term sustainability through tech for good and making a tangible difference in millions of lives.
