IN PRACTICE

Smart city case studies

The UAE vision

Kazakhstan's schools

Asian transit innovation

Dubai and Abu Dhabi are building document-free airports where faces serve as passports. The next step: document-free cities where palms serve as universal credentials.

The UAE vision

Kazakhstan's schools

Asian transit innovation

140+ schools proving that palm vein works at population scale students, parents, and staff all using the same infrastructure.

Imagine a city where...

A child boards the school bus with a wave of their hand

An elderly resident accesses the library without fumbling for a card

A commuter moves from metro to bus to bike-share seamlessly

A citizen votes with verified identity, no documents required

Emergency responders know exactly who is in an evacuated building

This is not surveillance. This is sovereignty. Citizens choose when to identify themselves, and when they do, the city responds.
