WISeKey releases WISeID Personal© to Support its CGI Commitment to Provide One Billion Digital Identities by 2015 while reducing poverty by monetizing active eyeballs
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
New York, September 24, 2013 - Established in 2005 by President Bill Clinton,
the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), convenes global leaders to create and
implement innovative solutions to the world's most pressing challenges. CGI
Annual Meetings have brought together more than 150 heads of state, 20 Nobel
Prize laureates, and hundreds of leading CEOs, heads of foundations and NGOs,
major philanthropists, and members of the media.
At this week's international thematic annual meeting, "Mobilizing For Impact" in
New York, WISeKey launched the WISeID Personal as support to the commitment the
company holds with the CGI since 2007. In collaboration with the OISTE
Foundation, an NGO with special consultative status with the Economic and Social
Council of the United Nations, WISeKey's commitment is to reduce the Digital
Identification gap in less developed countries and emerging economies by
creating the infrastructure that will create a de-facto global digital identity
community of 1 billion users while providing equitable and meaningful access to
the Internet.
WISeKey's ongoing CGI engagement includes building a digital identity
application for mobile phones via the WISeID Personal© app together with the
Activeeyeballs.com campaign, which enables digital identification to the
currently unidentified populations of poorer countries, as well as building
communities through facilitated communications and internet access while
providing digital rewards by monetizing active eyeballs. WISeKey's ongoing
efforts in this field has already allowed individuals, enterprises and
governments to access information, and secure fundamental, essential services
via their digital identities such as ePayment, eGovernmant, eLearning, eHealth,
eTravel, and mobile transactions in a secure, flexible, enhanced social network
environment.
"The CGI is a game-changing event that brings together world leaders to bring
solutions to the world's most pressing challenges. We are proud to bring our
expertise and strong belief via our commitment that, in working towards reducing
the digital gap and investing on digital identification to foster Internet
Connectivity will create new business to eradicate poverty. According to
www.itu.int, only about 2.7 billion, or 39% out of the more than 7 billion
people on the planet have internet access. If we give them digital
identifications they will become active eyeballs allowing them to monetize their
interactions against access to education, health, food and basic services
allowing them to become skilled workers, new consumers, and ultimately generate
positive economic impact on a global scale." said Carlos Moreira, Founder and
CEO WISeKey SA.
