Mission
The International Biometric Industry Association (IBIA) is a trade association founded in September 1998 in Washington, D.C. to advance the collective international interests of the biometric industry. IBIA is impartially dedicated to serve all biometric technologies in all applications.
IBIA speaks with authority for the biometric industry to the public opinion leaders, and government officials in the U.S. and abroad. The organization is formally incorporated under Section 501(c)(6) of the U.S. tax code as a nonprofit trade association that is qualified to take collective action on behalf of the biometric industry in compliance with antitrust, tax, and lobbying laws. IBIA is staffed by professional experts in biometrics, trade association management, and the complex disciplines of education and advocacy required by a multinational high-tech industry.
