[1] In the late 1990s, Mugica along with two other Venezuelan colleagues, Alfredo José Anzola and Roger Pinate, created a system where thousands of inputs could be placed into a network simultaneously.
[4] Some of his views to bring in technological advancement in elections include: the need to create tools for engaging citizens through voting and participation in the governance process,[5] making voting more accessible,[6] making sure that comprehensive pre- and post-election audits become a common practice,[7] and the significance of investing in research and development in the election technology market.
In 2014, Mugica together with British Lord Mark Malloch-Brown announced the launching of the SGO Corporation Limited,[14][15] a holding company headquartered in London whose primary asset is the election technology and voting machine manufacturer Smartmatic.
They were joined on SGO’s board by Sir Nigel Knowles, Global CEO of DLA Piper, entrepreneur David Giampaolo and Roger Piñate, Smartmatic’s COO.
The aim of SGO, according to Mugica is "to continue to make investments in its core business (election technology), but it is also set to roll out a series of new ventures based on biometrics, online identity verification, internet voting and citizen participation, e-governance and pollution control.”[17] As of 2016, Antonio Mugica holds 13 granted and over 10 pending patents in the United States.
