Important changes have been made in Eurosmart in 2007 corresponding to new developments in the Smart Security Industry.

Eurosmart Vision Paper

In 2007, our members have intensified their efforts to explain the characteristics of the Smart Security Technology to governments and to the general public. As part of this, Eurosmart adopted a “Vision Paper 2020” presenting Eurosmart vision on market trends and future functions (contactless, biometrics, smart agents, web server) and applications of Smart Secure Devices.
