The NFC Forum’s Special Interest Group (SIG) initiative is intended to foster broad adoption of NFC technology by sharing expertise across key vertical market sectors. The member-driven SIG Committee and its Working Groups will create opportunities across Forum membership to accelerate the delivery of exciting new NFC solutions for businesses and consumers.
Working Groups enable members to take an active role in fostering the adoption of NFC technology among stakeholders within targeted industry sectors. Initial objectives for activities undertaken by each individual SIG include:
- Encouraging broad adoption of NFC deployment by defining and promoting NFC solution use cases
- Gathering new business and technology requirements to drive future new and modified technical work
- Establishing collaborative relationships with liaison organizations to further joint efforts
- Creating educational tools and guidelines for each industry (e.g., white papers, demos, best practices, how-to guides, etc.)
