CARTES in Asia, a regional exhibition for the Asia-Pacific market and a high-level congress covering digital security and smart technologies, is going to open at AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong during 28-29 March 2012.
The 2012 exhibition and conference will be the third edition of CARTES in Asia. Major exhibitors from the smart security industry have already confirmed their participation, such as: Advanced Card Systems, Gemalto, Giesecke & Devrient, HID global, Ingenico, Insite Secure, Oberthur Technologies, STMicroelectronics, Watchdata.
Isabelle Alfano, director of CARTES events, Comexposium, said: "We‘ve seen a boom in the near field communication (NFC) industry this year with more and more countries realising the benefits of employing convenient card and cash-free technology. As mainland China‘s economy keeps on growing, their huge subscriber base indicates great potential for future NFC deployments – less than one third of users currently have access to mobile payment technology. Government, transport, telecoms, administrative, security and retail industries looking to find out more should head to CARTES in Asia next March in Hong Kong where they will meet hundreds of experts and developers of this ground-breaking technology."
