Trident Digital Tech Holdings Ltd (“Trident” or the “Company,” NASDAQ: TDTH), a leading catalyst for digital transformation in technology optimization services and Web 3.0 activation based in Singapore, today announced the signing of a landmark collaboration agreement with the Democratic Republic of Congo (the “DRC” or “Republic”), represented by the President of the Republic via the National Intelligence Agency, to drive digital transformation in the DRC for effective, accountable, and transparent governance.
Under this collaboration agreement, Trident will explore the development of a comprehensive electronic government (“e-GOV”) system for the DRC, aimed at digitizing the Congolese government’s administrative framework through the integration of cutting-edge technologies, including blockchain, to provide secure and efficient government services to citizens while protecting personal data.
The agreement establishes a framework for both parties to enter into a definitive agreement for Trident to develop and implement a platform that will manage the digital identities and data of Congolese citizens. This platform will provide secure and streamlined access to a wide range of government services, including business registration, land registries, immigration services, civil registry, as well as digital payment and approval functions for government services. Each service will be customized to meet the specific needs of the DRC.
Soon Huat Lim, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Trident, stated, “We are honored to collaborate with the Democratic Republic of Congo on this transformative project that will revolutionize how citizens interact with government services through secure digital identities. Our platform enables robust authentication processes via encrypted digital identities, enhancing security while optimizing the citizen experience when interacting with government services. This collaboration with the DRC is a significant validation of our technological capabilities and our commitment to developing secure and efficient digital solutions tailored to various scenarios. This agreement marks a significant milestone in our company’s growth trajectory, demonstrating our ability to deliver large-scale digital transformation solutions to global standards. We are confident that the success of this initiative will open opportunities to implement similar digital identity and secure authentication solutions for other clients seeking to develop their digital infrastructure.”
Justin Inzun Kakiak, Director General of the DRC’s National Intelligence Agency, commented, “Our selection of Trident for this crucial digital transformation initiative reflects our commitment to adopting and coordinating innovative solutions for the benefit of our country and our citizens. This e-Government system will significantly improve access to government services in our country, and we are delighted to move forward with Trident on this groundbreaking initiative.”
