PRESS RELEASE
Coppernic acquires Fovea, forensic investigation specialist, providing additional synergies in mobile biometric and identity markets.
Aix-en-Provence, France. October 9th, 2025
Coppernic, a leader in innovative mobile biometric and identity solutions, announces its acquisition of Fovea France to expand the Coppernic Group.
“In terms of expertise and focus, Fovea provides great synergy to some of Coppernic’s existing markets,” said Kevin Lecuivre, President of Coppernic. “However, they also open up new opportunities and applications in adjacent markets as well.”
Fovea is the distributor in France for Regula, a global developer of identity verification (IDV) solutions and forensic devices. They also distribute other solutions from specialist suppliers such as VisionMetric, a leading provider of facial identification and composite software.
Marc Piepers, Coppernic’s Managing Director and CTO added the following. “The Fovea portfolio offers an interesting number of opportunities. Products such as Regula’s document readers and identity verification software are well known within our current Human Credential Management business. More and more companies are now verifying identity documents for visitors and temporary workers. Beyond that, the more specialized forensic equipment leads to completely new applications. There is a good fit and consistency in the market focus areas such as Law Enforcement, Border Control, Security Forces, KYC, and so on.”
Ihar Kliashchou, Chief Technology Officer at Regula, said: “We are delighted to continue our collaboration with Fovea France, now part of the Coppernic Group. With decades of expertise in forensic hardware and IDV software, Regula provides trusted technology for secure and reliable identity verification. By combining this with Coppernic’s strong market presence and technical know-how, we look forward to delivering Regula solutions to even more organizations across France.”
