2. “This has been an amazing year for the Contactless and Mobile Awards. We have had the
greatest ever amount of entries from all over the world and every entry exhibiting a real flair
for innovation when it comes to NFC, contactless or mobile technology. It was an incredibly
hard job to choose just four finalists per category – we could have had more, but that would
not do justice to those companies that made the final selection per category. To those
companies I wish to express my admiration for their innovative solutions and business
excellence and wish them all the best of luck for the final selection in their Contactless and
Mobile Award categories,” said Steve Atkins, CEO of Krowne Communications, the company
behind Contactless Intelligence.
