China joint-venture with a Nordic fingerprint sensor provider

WISER and a Nordic fingerprint sensor provider created a JV in China

Client Background

A Nasdaq Nordic-listed leader in biometric fingerprint sensor development and manufacturing. The company's unique fingerprint technology and biometric algorithms are used worldwide in government ID, fintech, access control, and PC/notebook applications. It meets the highest global standards for security and performance.

The Challenge

China represents the world's largest biometrics market, driven by government digital ID programs, mobile payments, and smart device manufacturing. The company's technology had clear application potential, but competing in China required local manufacturing, government security certifications, and relationships with Chinese OEMs and system integrators — none of which were feasible to build from scratch as a foreign SME.

Our Role

We are the joint venture and operating partner for the Company in China. Our team manage the daily operations and business development for the Company in China.

Our Approach

WISER and the company created a Joint Venture in China. WISER provided the local entity structure, operational platform, government relations, and business development team. The JV focused on adapting the company's sensor technology for Chinese market requirements while ensuring full IP protection.

Results

- Joint Venture established and operational in China
