Three decades of academic depth, built into a product.

Candour Identity was founded on a strong academic foundation. The company’s origins lie in pioneering research at the University of Oulu, where computer vision and machine learning methods have been studied in depth for more than three decades. This long-standing research background provided the scientific depth and technical excellence that shaped Candour’s technology.
