In conversation with Ricardo Amper, Founder and CEO of Incode Technologies. Further, he talks about his journey in the company and how he accomplished to get the company this far

Congratulations on being recognized as one of the innovators of the year 2024! Can you share with us what this recognition means to you personally and professionally?

Thank you! This recognition is both humbling and a great honor. Personally, it reflects the passion and commitment I’ve put into transforming the identity verification space. Professionally, it’s a testament to the hard work of the entire Incode team, who have consistently pushed the boundaries of innovation. It reinforces our belief that the technologies we are developing are making a significant impact on the global digital identity ecosystem, and it motivates us to continue striving for excellence.

What inspired your award-winning innovation, and how did you come up with the idea behind it?

The inspiration for our innovation came from the growing need for secure, user-friendly digital identity verification. As more interactions move online, I realized there was a gap in how people experience identity verification—processes were either outdated or too complex. Our vision of One Identity Everywhere was born from the idea that identity verification should be seamless, secure, and accessible to all. It’s about creating trust in a digital world where identity is key to access services, financial products, and more​.

What were the key milestones or breakthroughs in the development of your innovation?

One of the key milestones was pivoting from a photo-sharing app to focusing entirely on identity verification. Securing our first major clients, like CitiBanamex and Banorte, was also a breakthrough that validated the need for our technology. Additionally, building our AI-powered platform that integrates facial recognition, liveness detection, and document verification with accuracy and speed was a crucial step in making Incode a leader in the identity solutions market​.

Innovation often involves taking risks. Can you tell us about a moment of uncertainty or challenge you faced during the development process, and how you navigated through it?

One of the most challenging moments came when Facebook’s data access restrictions during the Cambridge Analytica scandal directly impacted our original product. We were left with limited time and resources, but we saw an opportunity to pivot to identity verification. This required us to re-engineer our entire platform in just a few months. I navigated this uncertainty by focusing on the core strengths of our team and technology, remaining flexible, and trusting that we could solve a bigger problem in the identity space​.

How do you see your innovation impacting the industry or field it operates within, and what potential do you see for its scalability or replication in other contexts?

Our innovation is already reshaping the identity verification industry by addressing the critical need for secure, automated, and user-friendly verification processes. The potential for scalability is vast, our technology can be applied across multiple sectors, from financial services and government to healthcare and education. As digital interactions continue to expand globally, our solutions can easily be adapted to different regulatory environments and use cases, making them replicable in virtually any market that requires secure digital identities.

How do you stay updated on emerging trends, technologies, and opportunities relevant to your field?

Staying updated is critical in a fast-moving field like ours. I regularly engage with industry leaders, attend conferences, and participate in tech-focused events to remain informed. We also have an internal culture of learning, where our team shares the latest developments in AI, machine learning, and security technologies. Additionally, we keep a close eye on regulatory changes, as they often drive innovation in the identity space​.

How do you stay motivated and continue to push the boundaries of innovation in your work?

My motivation comes from the impact our technology has on people’s lives. Knowing that we’re creating safer, more accessible digital experiences for millions of users worldwide drives me to keep innovating. I’m also inspired by the incredible talent within Incode; our team’s dedication to solving complex problems and pushing technological boundaries keeps me energized. Seeing our work lead to real-world solutions fuels our constant drive to innovate​.

Finally, how do you measure the impact of your innovations, and what outcomes do you hope to achieve with your work in the long term?

We measure the impact of our innovations through both quantitative and qualitative metrics. From a quantitative perspective, we track the number of identities verified, fraud prevention rates, and client satisfaction. Qualitatively, we look at the societal impact and how our solutions are increasing financial inclusion, protecting privacy, and enhancing trust in digital interactions.

In the long term, I hope our work will lead to a more secure digital world, where identity verification is seamless and trustworthy for everyone​.
