On October 11, 2026, at noon, the Canadian company Inkas has officially announced its collaboration with One Atlantic Solutions to develop advanced border control systems in Morocco and across Africa. This innovative partnership, unveiled during the Marrakech Air Show, aims to integrate technologies such as facial recognition, traveler analysis, and artificial intelligence into the border security framework. The Canadian Embassy in Morocco has confirmed this significant agreement, which not only targets the Moroccan market but also extends its reach to other African nations.
The cutting-edge system proposed by Inkas is designed to gather vital information from airlines, maritime companies, and land transport providers, allowing authorities to commence travel route examinations as early as 72 hours before departure. This proactive approach enables law enforcement and border control agencies to have ample time to scrutinize passenger data, ultimately helping to identify any potential anomalies that could pose security threats.
Central to this initiative is a sophisticated platform developed by Inkas, which combines the collected information with biometric data and artificial intelligence. This technology assigns each traveler a risk level categorized as low, medium, or high, guiding security personnel on the necessary scrutiny required for each individual. The system is intended for use in various locations, including airports, seaports, and land border checkpoints, enhancing overall security measures and operational efficiency.
Inkas Expands into Morocco's Defense Industry
In addition to its border control advancements, Inkas is making significant strides within the Moroccan defense industry. The company is among seven firms that have recently signed agreements with the Defense Industrial Zones Management Company (SGZID), established by MEDZ, a subsidiary of the CDG, and the Military Housing and Equipment Agency. These agreements mark a pivotal step in mobilizing land for future industrial activities, reinforcing Inkas's commitment to the Moroccan market alongside other industry leaders such as Arquus, MKU, and Harmattan AI.
These strategic partnerships align with Morocco's ongoing development of industrial zones dedicated to defense, showcasing the country's commitment to fortifying its national security and technological capabilities. During the Marrakech Air Show, held from October 7 to 10, Inkas also showcased an impressive array of military equipment, including the M1 MRAP vehicle designed to withstand mines and ambushes, the lightweight tactical vehicle MLTV, and the AI-guided interceptor drone Anuri.
