On March 29th, the HK SAR government officially announced that Ping An 
Technology and OGCIO had signed a contract on February 29th 2019, to be a 
service provider for the establishment, support and maintenance of Category A 
and Category B of the electronic personal identity (e-ID) system to assist the 
HK SAR government in building e-ID system. 

The HK SAR government will provide e-ID to all Hong Kong residents to enable 
them to conduct online transaction via unique electronic identification, to 
promote new economic service model directly to citizens, to provide key 
electronic infrastructure for HK's smart city project.

Ericson Chan, CEO of Ping An Technology, said: "The e-ID project is the 
framework for building a smart city in Hong Kong. Participation in the project 
is conducive to helping Ping An Technology further develop the overseas 
practice of smart city."

With 99.8% of the recognition accuracy and the minimum wave amplitude, its face 
recognition technology has reached the world's leading level. In addition, its 
face recognition technology has been widely and deeply applied in more than 400 
fields, including airport security, community intelligent management, financial 
risk control, medical insurance, social welfare security, railway facilities 
connection and a series of high security areas. At present, face recognition 
technology has been integrated into Ping An Pi-comprehensive identity 
verification platform, which integrates many AI algorithms such as biopsy 
detection, OCR recognition, voiceprint recognition and so on. The platform 
service has been extended to Southeast Asia and other overseas areas.

In the bidding process, Ping An Technology always upholds the attitude of 
legitimacy and compliance, and actively practices the enterprise concept of 
"Technology made life easier". Ericson Chan further added, "We hope that the 
application of technology can benefit more people. Ping An Technology has 
accumulated core technologies in AI, blockchain and cloud computing, and has 
gained rich practical experience in China. Previous cooperation with the HK SAR 
government e-ID project prove Ping An Technology's ability and experience in 
overseas markets. In the next stage, Ping An Technology will apply its landing 
technology in a wider area to help improve the technology application in local 
areas.
