Danish Ambassador to Ghana, Jakob Linulf, has lauded Margins ID Group for its significant role in advancing Ghana’s development.
He commended the company’s efforts in driving the country’s digital identity agenda.
At a stakeholder’s engagement at the company’s card manufacturing facility, Intelligent Card Production Systems (ICPS), in Accra on Thursday, September 25, 2025, Ambassador Linulf said “The Ghana Card is a major achievement, and you should be proud of the contribution you are making to Ghana’s development.”
He also acknowledged Margins as a leading force in global digital identity sector, noting that the company is in a different league than a lot of ID companies in Africa, when it comes to Identity solutions.
The Ambassador’s visit to the company comes at time many African countries, including the Democratic Republic of Congo, and The Gambia are taking steps to replicate Ghana’s model as they work toward building robust national identity systems to drive digital transformation and socio-economic development.
“Margins ID Group is famous in Denmark, and you should take great pride your achievements,” Ambassador Linulf said.
“You have our support, and I am very impressed with what I see here,” he indicated after a tour of the factory.
He was accompanied on the tour by Jørgen Østergård Bollesen, Head of Trade and Linda Kafui Abbah-Foli, Commercial Advisor both at the Danish Embassy in Accra.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Margins ID Group, Moses Kwesi Baiden Jr., reaffirmed the company’s commitment to deepening ties with international partners and advancing Africa’s digital identity agenda.
He emphasised that the Group will continue to leverage innovation and strategic collaborations to strengthen Ghana’s position as a model for digital transformation across the continent.
“The Danish Government should be commended for its contribution to this project, and we will continue to collaborate with you in achieving new milestones.
“Together, we will innovate, expand, and deliver secure identification solutions that meet the evolving needs of Africa and beyond,” Mr. Baiden said.
He further highlighted the wider diplomatic value of the partnership, noting that Margins ID Group’s support for Danish Constitution Day and other Embassy initiatives demonstrates how technological collaboration can also strengthen cultural ties and bilateral relations.
From a modest $100 investment three decades ago, Margins ID Group has grown into a technology powerhouse and a symbol of successful international cooperation in Africa’s digital transformation.
The partnership between Denmark and Margins ID Group dates back to 1999, with Danish support helping establish Ghana as a continental leader in digital identity.
Today, the Ghana Card is recognised as a model for other African nations.
