Nine French firms are set to showcase mobile payment solutions at this year’s Cards & Payments Middle East.

 

They will form the French pavilion, hosted by Business France, an organisation which supports French businesses wishing to expand abroad. 

 

The two-day event will be taking place at the Dubai International Exhibition & Convention Centre, starting May 31. 

 

The French pavilion will be showcasing innovative mobile payment solutions, as well as solutions on RFID/NFC technologies, identification and authentication.

 

Leveraging on its cutting-edge technology, France is well-placed to meet the needs of the FinTech and the memory card, smart card and contact-less card market offering key functions such as data storage, data modification and data restoration, card and holder identification as well as authentication, said a press release. 

 

The applications are specifically geared towards the banking, financing, and government activities (e-passport) sectors. However, they have high potential for use in aeronautics, automotive manufacturing, mass market retailing, industry, logistics, and the textile and health industry.
