Strategic News Service (SNS) is proud to announce that NXT-ID (NASDAQ: NXTD, NXTDW) has been selected as a 2015 FiReStarter company to be featured at the 13th annual Future in Review (FiRe) conference. Described by The Economist as "the best technology conference in the world," FiRe features global thought leaders in technology and the global economy, including Elon Musk, Craig Venter, Michael Dell, Vint Cerf, Leroy Hood, Patti Grace Smith, Mark Hurd, Paul Jacobs, and many others. FiReStarters are selected based on the strength of their innovations and their potential to bring positive change to the world, and are showcased at an exclusive investor reception at the FiRe conference, in panels throughout the event, and with ongoing relationships introduced and supported by SNS.
NXT-ID Inc. is a United States-based biometric authentication company focused on the growing mobile commerce market. The company's lead product is Wocket®, its next-generation smart wallet. Designed to protect the identity of users, it eliminates nearly all the physical cards in a wallet without needing a smartphone or Internet connection. In addition to passwords and private notes, virtually any credit, debit, membership gift, or loyalty card in a wallet today can be loaded and protected on Wocket. The included WocketCard works virtually anywhere magnetic-stripe cards are accepted today and can only be used with the owner's biometric (voice) stamp of approval or with a PIN. The Wocket can be stylishly accessorized to meet the taste and lifestyle of users, making it a true replacement for the conventional wallet. For more information, visit www.wocketwallet.com.
"We are truly honored and excited to be named a FiReStarter company," said Gino Pereira, CEO of NXT-ID. "We look forward to sharing our view of the future in payments and personal privacy, as well as hearing about the great innovations from our fellow FiReStarter nominees."
"We are delighted to have NXT-ID as a FiReStarter company as we move toward FiRe 2015. Its work in addressing future privacy and security issues in the mobile payment world are both timely and robust," said Mark Anderson, FiRe chair and CEO of the Strategic News Service. "I want a Wocket myself."
