The company also said it had generated prospective sales deals across all continents and business domains for the next two years to the tune of more than €1 billion (roughly 1.17 billion).

Revenue projections for this year remain high as the company is aid to be witnessing steady growth across all of its business components, the statement mentioned.

Augentic won the Cameroon biometric passport contract in September 2020 in a move that was described by Cameroonian authorities as intended to revolutionize the passport experience in the central African country.

In late January, the company announced progress in the initial stages of the project, saying it had successfully concluded industry level tests for the solution that will be used for the production of the biometric passports.
