*Calculations Please use the space below to qualify any numerical values you provided above.
The number of people now using their digital ids on mobile phones to conduct save
transactions. Our digital identity encryption systems are becoming platforms people and
organizations customize and use to manage their lives. They often do it in creative ways we hadn’t
even imagined. It feels good to empower people to shape their own fortunes.”
Governments, both federal and municipal, regularly hired WISeKey to help increase the safety and
effectiveness of their internet services. Corporations in industries as varied as retail and high-speed
sailboats praised WISeKey’s customized and original digital transaction systems for helping them stay
a step ahead of counterfeiters of their products and data thieves.
Furthermore, WISeKey stayed true to its public service spirit and continued to collaborate with a few
non-profit organizations. At the 2009 Clinton Global Initiative, we announced plans for WISeKey to
create digital identity solutions for mobile phones to help the world’s immigrants, both legal and
illegal. Few companies can pull off these projects, for they require that WISeKey be skilled and trusted
enough to play the role of honest broker, coordinator and service provider to a country’s often
competing key stakeholders: government ministers, business operators, the news media, corruption
watchdog groups and, last but far from least, consumers.
