Trust Stamp Inc (NASDAQ:IDAI, ISE:AIID) announced that it has been selected to participate in the 2026 Trust Village Incubator, a program that aims to connect startups, research institutions and industry leaders in digital trust and cybersecurity supported by EPFL Innovation Park, Trust Valley, SICPA, and Canton de Vaud.
The selection highlights Trust Stamp’s work in privacy-preserving identity technology, including its latest innovation, StableKey, which is built on the company’s patented Stable IT2 cryptosystem, according to the company.
StableKey is designed to enable secure biometric authentication without storing sensitive biometric data or private cryptographic keys.
During the six-month incubation program, Trust Stamp plans to execute its European go-to-market strategy for StableKey, develop partnerships with financial institutions, blockchain innovators, and identity providers in Switzerland and the EU, launch pilot projects demonstrating privacy-preserving authentication for digital assets, self-custody wallets, and trusted credentials, and strengthen its alignment with European digital trust frameworks, including eIDAS 2.0.
“We are honored to join the Trust Valley ecosystem and participate in the Trust Village programme in Switzerland,” Trust Stamp CEO Gareth Genner said in a statement.
“This collaboration will accelerate our mission to redefine how privacy, trust, and security intersect in the digital economy. Switzerland’s leadership in trust technologies, blockchain, and digital identity makes it an ideal environment for bringing StableKey to market.”
Dr David Grima, the company’s director of Product Innovation, will represent Trust Stamp in Switzerland throughout the program and engage with ecosystem partners on-site.
Shares of Trust Stamp moved higher on the announcement, adding almost 6% on Thursday morning.
