The Show's highlights and successes
This
year, CARTES once again succeeded in creating numerous business and,
above all, discussion opportunities for all professionals.
The
World Card Summit, the opening conference, focussed on mobile payment
with a notable presentation by Patrick Gauthier, Head of Operations at
PayPal Retail Services. It also brought together market leaders
(American Express, Gemalto, Giesecke & Devrient, Infineon
Technologies, Morpho, NXP Semiconductors and Oberthur Technologies) in
front of an attentive audience of over 550 people.
At
this conference, Eurosmart revealed its figures for 2012 and its world
market forecasts. The association confirmed delivery of over 7 billion
units of smart secure devices in 2012 and anticipates strong growth of
around 10% leading to a forecast of smart secure devices deliveries of
nearly 7.7 billion units in 2013.
At the heart of the
Show, visitors had easy access to large companies in various dedicated
sectors (Identification, Machines, Mobile Payment, Testing and
Consulting). New trends and numerous innovations were presented in the
area reserved for start-up companies, the Innovation Village and in the
Security in the Cloud and Smart Urban Mobility areas.
India
was the " guest of honour" country this year: the Show welcomed a
higher number of Indian visitors than usual who came to meet the major
international suppliers, and experts came to present major
identification projects in conferences.
Acclaimed conferences at the Show
In
total, nearly 1,600 people attended 119 conferences organised around 4
major themes: Identification, Innovation, Mobility, Payment and
Security.
This year, mobile payment, e-commerce,
m-commerce, the prepaid market and even NFC applications were hugely
successful both at stands and across the various conferences. These
concentrated on the influence of mobile payment on the payment industry,
new generation authentications and electronic signatures for mobiles,
tablets and PCs, and prepay innovations in Europe and around the world.
These conferences succeeded in throwing new light on the subject and
revealing new perspectives covering areas of interest for the sector's
professionals:
Behaviour of new consumers
Emergence and economic challenges of mobile wallets
Business model of electronic money issuers
Banking security on mobiles
New prepaid cards
