“Next-generation documents: Where is the innovation?”
The digital security industry has so far been mainly driven – in terms of innovation – by the integration of cutting-edge technologies (security inks, holograms, electronic chips and OS,) within products (cards, documents) and systems (enrolment, CMS).
However beyond the products/systems aspects, innovation is now shifting to new fields such as:
- Faster products and services development processes, including quick prototyping of e-documents;
- Innovative manufacturing processes;
- Innovative (easy) issuance and post-issuance services.
The presentation draws attention to these innovation areas.
