Asian Sesames to reward innovation on 29 March 2011 at CARTES in Asia
- In the future, fake goods may become obsolete. All products including pharmaceuticals could be tagged with RFID (radio frequency identity) chips to prevent fakes. For example garment manufacturers such as Gerry Weber already implant chips into their care labels to stop copying. In just a few years, these RFID chips will be so small that they may be used to tag all manner of products to prove authenticity.
Professionals from the fields of banking, security, IT, electronics, retail, telecoms, logistics and government who are responsible for innovation cannot afford to miss this trade show and conference.

- 錢包可能已經成為歷史的產物，最近由Mastercard贊助的報告指出，移動及非接觸式付款將於未來五年會經歷鉅大的全球性增長，預計增長額分別可達六千八百億及三千二百億美元。在北京，中國聯通於一月亦時推出非接觸式流動付款產品SIMpass。SIMpass除了能夠繳付公車及計程車的車資外，用戶更可在停車場、超級市場、餐廳、藥房、戲院以及公眾電話使用SIMpass進行交易。直至現時為止，在全國包括湖南、江蘇在內的二十多個省市已有超過二百萬名SIMpass使用者。
- 未來，膺品可能不再出現。所有包含藥物的產品均可配置RFID 晶片以預防偽造。成衣製造商Gerry Weber早已在旗下產品置入晶片以阻止產品被抄襲。而在短短數年間，這些RFID晶片將會變得更微細，可於更多產品內植入以作辨別真偽之用。
- 機器之間的連接及溝通將會令人類生活變得更方便。當我們駕車回家，汽車可以控制開啟空調；空調又控制電視機等。根據Analysys Mason表示，於2020年全球Internet of Things 的消費者將會與超過一百六十億部物聯裝置連接起來。
在2011年3月29日 (星期二)，亞洲智能卡展的第一日展期，The Asian SESAMES Award (亞洲芝麻獎) 將會揭曉去年在亞太地區，最創新的智能技術應用項目。今屆評審包括中國智能卡協會主席 Mr. Frank Xu及亞太智能卡協會主席Mr. Greg Pote。而去年The Asian SESAMES Award得主則由Watchdata為星展銀行推出，於新加坡使用的Live Fresh 三合一信用卡。(信用卡內置含銀行服務、交通及零售繳付功能的雙面智能卡)
