Major players and start-ups brought together by innovation

The Main Stage of TRUSTECH will also be dedicated to the 40 start-ups in the Fintech, IoT, payments and digital identity sectors, invited to participate in the pitch sessions.
The exhibitors and sponsors will also present their latest products and services on the Main Stage.

Focus on a few highlights

Connected objects
Wetech has developed a range of connected accessories and jewellery (watches, bracelets, rings, necklaces, etc.), using wireless technology to be used as POS. The company has also created apps paired to their wearables, in order to control and secure them.

Payments
Companies such as TAS Group is helping to bring down barriers which exist in the field of cross-border payments by simplifying the validation and processing of this type of operation by taking into account the local regulations and commercial practices. As for Snapswap, the company combines mobile messenger app functions (such as Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp) with digital wallet and peer-to-peer transactions (such as PayPal) into a single app called Gloneta.

Biometrics
Another field where innovation is particularly impressive is biometrics; companies such as Flexenable and Innovatrics both integrate digital fingerprint readers on smart cards in order to increase security and broaden their functionalities.

Point of sale terminals
The main stakeholders on this market, such as Spire Payments, XAC Automation and Verifone with " Carbon" will present the latest generation of point of sale terminals. These latest products now include advanced functionalities, access to the cloud and the availability of various apps.
