Trust Stamp (Nasdaq: IDAI, Euronext Growth: AIID ID), the
Privacy-First Identity CompanyTM providing AI-powered trust and
identity services used globally across multiple sectors, today
announces winners of the 2022 Trusted Rwanda
Hackathon following the hybrid event which brought five
competitors and an esteemed panel of judges together for the final
pitch competition in the first week of April.
Applicants were challenged to leverage Trust Stamp’s secure
identity and data tokenization technology through simple API
integration to transform their technology solutions in Africa while
speaking to today’s pressing topics of biometrics, regulatory
compliance, privacy, cyber security, and more. Trust Stamp
narrowed a global applicant pool down to five finalists and worked
with each participant to help craft their innovations during a
month-long development period.
Trust Stamp Chief Innovation Officer Raman Narayanswamy
comments, “The fantastic response from applicants and the
diversity of solutions targeted at unique local and global needs
highlights the significant role of privacy-first identity
frameworks in delivering modern, accessible, and secure services
across industries and geographies.”
On April 5th, Trust Stamp welcomed the finalists virtually and
in person to present their solutions to a judging panel comprised
of private and public-sector experts in identity and digital
transformation, including Jean Claude Niyokwizera of Rwanda's
National Identification Agency, Rodrigue Ruhashya of the Rwanda
Ministry of ICT and Innovation, and Philip Kakuru of MTN Rwanda,
who received a panel nomination from Philip Lucky of the Rwanda
Development Board. The finalists and winners include:
- FIRST PLACE, iLabs

proposed privacy-preserving cross-border identity wallet ecosystem
with EU-Africa interoperability, this digital identity company wins

the proposed metaverse environment modeled on Kigali, avatars
