Our portfolio of over 5,000 patents and patent applications is a powerful springboard for anticipating and fulfilling our customers’ needs. Maintaining our lead depends on continuously improving the expertise of our R&D engineers. In 2008 we inaugurated a global program calledGemalto Technical Ladder, to offer attractive career paths to our engineers, acknowledging their contribution to Gemalto’s success.
Also in 2008 we strengthened our processes for fostering new business opportunities with the launch of multi-talented cross-functional innovation groups. These aim to generate quality business ideas to warrant the creation of new in-house incubation cells on top of the three currently being developed.
Our research establishment boasts many eminent experts in digital security. They published several dozen articles in scientific journals in 2008 as well as serving on many scientific conference program committees.
The review of our business operations describes how Gemalto’s innovations are embodied in the flood of improvements to security, convenience and user experience now driving the convergence of mobile telecommunications, internet, banking and contactless technologies.
Gemalto also plays a key role in the definition and adoption of international standards, ensuring that different types of products and applications work together seamlessly. Leading by example, we offer the widest range of interoperable cards, and are committed to international standards such as Java Card, ETSI, OMA, ICAO, 3GPP, ISO and Global Platform. A notable breakthrough in 2008 was the completion of the standards to bring NFC to mobile phones.
