Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, April 25, 2026: Dalil Holding (“Dalil”) and e7 Group PJSC (“e7”), leading providers of secure identity solutions, have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on Idenex, Dalil’s identity management subsidiary, with e7 exploring a potential strategic investment aligned with its long-term growth strategy.
The partnership aims to establish a UAE-based identity solutions champion, reinforcing the country’s position among global leaders in secure, integrated, and citizen-centric identity ecosystems. Over the past decade, the UAE has developed large-scale digital identity and government systems that have set international benchmarks for efficiency, security, and service delivery.
Idenex is designed to expand this model globally, offering scalable digital identity platforms tailored for governments and large enterprises. Its solutions enable secure identity management, reduce operational risks, accelerate digital transformation, and improve service efficiency and user experience.
The collaboration reflects a shared ambition to position Idenex as a globally competitive platform, leveraging the UAE’s track record in innovation, governance, and service excellence. Dalil and e7 will combine advanced identity technologies with secure manufacturing capabilities to deliver integrated solutions spanning digital identity platforms, secure document issuance, and identity-enabled services across the full lifecycle—from enrollment and credential management to authentication and ongoing lifecycle services.
Talal Al Ahmad, Chief Executive Officer of Dalil, said the partnership would accelerate the global rollout of the UAE’s identity model, noting that collaboration with e7 enables faster execution and delivery of a fully operational solution from day one.
Mohamad Yousef, Chief Executive Officer of Idenex, said the initiative aims to replicate the UAE’s success in identity systems internationally, positioning Emirati technology as a benchmark for performance, reliability, and innovation across global markets.
For e7, the agreement represents a strategic step to expand its end-to-end identity offering by integrating its physical identity manufacturing capabilities with digital platforms, software, and services. The company aims to strengthen its position across the identity value chain, support recurring revenue streams, and enhance participation in large-scale government identity programs.
Ahmed Al Shamsi, Chairman of e7 Group, said the partnership aligns with the company’s strategy to build a comprehensive identity solutions platform with global scalability, while maintaining disciplined growth and governance standards.
Group CEO Esteban Gómez Nadal added that demand for integrated “phygital” identity solutions—combining physical credentials with digital identity systems—is increasing, and the collaboration will accelerate e7’s role in delivering such solutions globally.
