North American Biometrics Market Expected to Triple Revenue Growth Through 2008

Frost & Sullivan will host an exclusive interactive briefing on December 1, 2005 at 1:00 p.m. EST to provide both financial service clients, such as Private Equity and Venture Capital groups, and market participants, primarily CFO’s and finance departments, insight into investment and growth opportunities in the North American biometrics markets.

“Industry experts say that biometric companies have been set for explosive growth for several years but have been hindered by a lack of investment. Recent Venture Capital and Private Equity activity signals say that is all about to change,” says Rob Allen, Frost & Sullivan Financial Services Research Analyst.

Those interested in participating in this exclusive outlook should send an email to Tori Foster, tori.foster@frost.com , with the following information for registration: Full Name, Company Name, Title, Telephone Number, Fax Number and Email address. Upon receipt of the above information, a confirmation/pass code for the live briefing will be emailed to you.

“When it comes to investments in biometric applications the traditional fingerprint segments are very fertile for Private Equity companies,” says Allen. “However, Venture Capital groups are finding companies more in line with their investment criteria in the new wave of applications such as facial recognition, eye scan and voice verification technologies.”

Highlights of the briefing include a general market overview of biometric applications in North America, information on the sub-segments of Non-AFIS, AFIS, eye scan, hand geometry, facial recognition, voice verification and signature verification.
