Abstract

The recent pandemic of COVID-19 has brought forth the notion of Immunity Passports and has sparked up a heated debate about the socioeconomic necessity behind their use versus the moral, ethical and social implications that may arise from a possible widespread implementation thereof. Despite this animated controversy, this paper aims at pinpointing the future perspectives on the scientific and economical level as well as the entrepreneurial opportunities that the adoption of Immunity Passports may create. After a clear definition of the term, a short description of the current state-of-the-art in terms of their development and a clear separation of the facts from fictitious assumptions about their potential medical outcomes, the paper concentrates on providing a general outlook on the opportunities that may arise from the creation of such biodiagnostic tools along with analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats (SWOT). Special emphasis is also given on two critical economic sectors that may serve as exemplifications par excellence on the entrepreneurial opportunities and the innovative disruption that Immunity Passports may bring about. Implications are discussed.
