Ingenia Technology was founded in 2003 following many years of research funding at Durham and Cambridge Universities and more recently at Imperial College, London. This work, under the leadership of Professor Russell Cowburn, inspired the development of the Laser Surface Authentication (LSA™) technology that forms the basis of our security solution. LSA™ is protected by numerous worldwide patents. Ingenia is part of the NewScope Group, a Swiss-based, privately funded business, comprising a number of specialist high-end technology companies. NewScope is a science and innovation driven conglomerate with widely diversified individual technology businesses and activities including design, research, development, manufacturing, marketing, and the supply of innovative products and services. Ingenia Technology (UK) Limited has its headquarters in London with satellite offices in Vienna and Zurich. The Ingenia team consists of a mix of business and security experts and of specialist engineers and physicists with many years of experience in electronic and product engineering and includes three members of the original research team from Imperial College. The Ingenia LSA™ technology solution is used across the world by major organisations to assist with brand protection, track & trace and document authentication.
