The technology is used for everyday tasks like accessing your smartphone, opening the front door or setting an alarm.

Those behind the microchips — the size of a rice grain and implanted via a syringe — are working to access other parts of Europe.

Eric Larsen, who leads Biohax Italia, is waiting for approval in Italy from medical centres and the health ministry.

He said he expects to implant a chip into about 2,500 people in the first six to eight months in Milan and Rome.

Even without health ministry certification, Biohax Italia has already been able to embed these chips into a few hundred people with the help of a medical centre.

"It is a step towards the future... It is extremely futuristic although it is already happening. This technology was born to help us, to give us small 'superpowers'," Larsen told Euronews.
