It is truly an honor and pleasure to have such an outstanding slate of judges for the 2020 NFC Innovation Awards. The NFC Forum is grateful for the support and amazed at the level of expertise these judges bring to the effort.  It is arguably a “Top Ten” list of the most influential people in NFC technology today – but we prefer to call them the “Terrific Ten”.  This group will be responsible for deciding the NFC Innovation Award Winners in five categories.  For more information or to enter for free: https://nfcforum.secure-platform.com/a/.

The 2020 NFC Innovation Awards are about discovering new ways that NFC technology can be implemented to improve business strategies, introduce new inventions and deliver a social impact for people in need. This year the NFC Forum is honored to have a great team of judges from a mix of industries to review submissions from startups, developers, entrepreneurs and organizations.

For the last decade and a half, Blue Bite has helped transform the way we interact with the world by connecting people and information through physical things. Along the way it has also transformed itself from using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi in its solutions to using NFC technology.  Indeed, the name “Blue Bite” was derived from the company’s original solution which used Bluetooth technology.

It’s time to show off your NFC-enabled product, service or experience! The NFC Forum's Second Annual NFC Innovation Award program is accepting entries now. Submit your application today. Deadline for submissions is March 6, 2020. Winners will be unveiled at the NFC Forum June Member Meeting in Helsinki.

In the technology industry one thing is inevitable, change. Technological capabilities are expanding constantly. The transportation industry has been an industry that has continually changed as we’ve seen taxis become rideshares, phones with NFC technology become train passes and licenses and identification documents go online. To keep up with these changes the NFC Forum Transportation Special Interest Group (SIG) has adapted their group to reflect the new realities of the transportation industry renaming itself the Mobility, Identity and Transport SIG (MIT SIG).

The video “NFC is Everywhere” tells the NFC story in two minutes about how simple and convenient it is to “just tap” the N-Mark symbol and use NFC technology for a wide variety of things.  Retail, transportation, automotive, events and IoT solutions and activities are all easier and faster with NFC.

The NFC Forum will be exhibiting at the event for the second year in a row.  Also, for the second year in a row, NFC Forum members will be supporting NFC and the NFC Forum by staffing the NFC Forum booth at MarTech East.  NFC Forum members sending representatives to MarTech East include: Blue Bite, Paragon ID, NXP Semiconductors, Smartrac and Thinfilm.  We’ll be demonstrating various NFC demos, answering questions, handing out the NFC Forum’s “NFC Overview” and “Six Tips” brochures as well as capturing leads to support NFC Forum objectives.
