Primion now a member of GATE

Shaping the future of airport security

Stetten am kalten Markt, August 3rd, 2026 – Primion has become a new member of GATE, the international network for airport technology and brings more than 30 years of experience in protecting critical infrastructure, as well as extensive expertise from international airport projects, to the collaboration. Together with airport operators and technology partners, Primion aims to help shape the next generation of secure, resilient and high-performance airports as an internationally successful company.

Airports are among the most complex operational environments in the world: thousands of employees and their identities, hundreds of external service providers, tens of thousands of access events every day, and countless critical security zones and processes must all work together reliably around the clock. In this context, physical and digital risks can no longer be considered in isolation; instead, solutions are needed that do justice to this complexity.

Primion therefore focuses on converged security: physical security, identity management, personnel processes, information technology and operational systems are connected to form one intelligent ecosystem. This creates the transparency needed to identify risks at an early stage, manage processes securely and strengthen operational resilience. 

For Primion, membership means far more than expanding its own network. The company will actively contribute its comprehensive expertise to the industry dialogue, provide fresh impetus and work together with GATE members to shape the future of airport security. 

“The future of airport security lies in smart connectivity. Identities, authorisations, technologies and processes must interact reliably. Our guiding principle sums up this ambition: the right person, with the right authorisation, in the right place.”

Francis Cepero, CEO of Primion
