Bob Beer, Chairman of GlobalPlatform, comments: “GlobalPlatform is committed to driving adoption of its specifications in Asia, a region which is considered one of the world’s fastest growing, dynamic smart card markets. The number of smart card programs based on GlobalPlatform technology in Asian markets has increased significantly over the years, but we still believe there are many more issuers and program operators who could benefit from using our royalty free specifications for cards, device and systems.
“Over the past three years, GlobalPlatform has hosted a number of Asian seminars, but this will be our first event in Singapore. The seminar program will offer a valuable insight into opportunities and challenges for the smart card industry in Asia, and with so many interesting and dynamic speakers committed to making this day a success we look forward to welcoming many delegates from the region.”
The seminar will conclude with a cocktail reception, where delegates will have the opportunity to meet GlobalPlatformÂ’s Board of Directors, Technical and Business Committees, representatives from its member organizations and guest speakers.
