Building Africa’s Identity Future from Ghana

Margins ID Group is a wholly Ghanaian company and Sub-Saharan Africa’s largest certified identity solutions provider. It has grown from modest beginnings to become a global benchmark.

The Ghana Card is its flagship innovation, recognized internationally for secure digital identity solutions. It forms the backbone of Ghana’s digital transformation strategy.

Under Mr. Baiden's guidance, Ghanaians have conceptualized and executed the entire ecosystem supporting the Ghana Card. This showcases technological sovereignty amid reliance on foreign systems.

Industry Praise and Endorsements

Catherine Morton, Executive Director of Eve International, praised Margins ID Group for its innovation. She compared it to firms in Silicon Valley for developing secure identity solutions tailored to Africa's needs.

A Catalyst for Economic and Social Transformation

Mr. Baiden's leadership has also spurred broader economic reforms and governance improvements. Integrating the Ghana Card across sectors has enhanced efficiency and accountability.

This integration enables greater participation in the formal economy and better access to public services.

Developing the Next Generation of Tech Talent

Margins ID Group nurtures future tech professionals in Ghana as well. Mr. Baiden emphasizes human capital development within private sector growth strategies.

Recognition as a Symbol of Ghana’s Global Emergence

For Mr. Baiden, receiving this award represents more than personal success; it symbolizes Ghana's potential in high-tech fields traditionally dominated by others.

It reinforces that Africa can address its challenges through local talent and innovation independently.

A Legacy of Vision, Impact, and Independence

Mr. Moses Baiden embodies belief in transformation through vision and local capacity confidence. His achievements challenge views that innovation must be imported from abroad.

As Ghana moves toward a fully digitized economy, he will play a crucial role alongside Margins ID Group in shaping national progress.
