WISeKey invited by the Clinton Global Initiative to announce its progress report on the NETeID Commitment during this year’s Annual Meeting held from September 26-28, 2007 in New York

This year’s Annual Meeting will be held from September 26-28, 2007 and will bring together 1,000 leaders from business, NGOs, foundations, academia and government. CGI’s Annual Meeting is focused on driving change by systematically exploring global challenges, detailing successful responses to them, seeking new solutions, forging new partnerships, and—most importantly—inspiring specific commitments from each CGI member.
Commitments—which are made to any cause or organization of the member’s own choosing—can be financial or non-financial. They include dedicating hours, special expertise, corporate resources, and other methods to address global problems.
This year, for the first time, President Clinton will gather Clinton Global Initiative members at Carnegie Hall during the Annual Meeting to recognize five exemplary people who are demonstrating remarkable and innovative ways of addressing global problems. This event is designed to put the spotlight on the efforts of doers and innovators who are making a significant difference.
WISeKey Pledged the NETeID Commitment to the Clinton Global Initiative to providing the necessary identity management and transaction platform to enable a new approach of cash flow management to reduce operations costs, intermediaries and other sources which result in the loss of aid, remittances and micro-credit initiatives, as well as to increase the awareness and control capability of those providing the funds. WISeKey will report to President Clinton on the progress made on the NETeID initiative throughout the course of the year.
WISeKey, in cooperation with the OISTE, will help reduce the gap between the new Digital Identification Divide in less developed countries and emerging economies by creating the infrastructure that will make a de-facto global digital identity community of 1 billion digital identity users while providing equitable and meaningful access to digital information technology.
“I am delighted that we can further the impact of reducing the gap between the new Digital Identification Divide through involvement with the Clinton Initiative. CGI is an event that brings together world leaders to discuss and develop workable solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges” said Carlos Moreira, Founder and CEO WISeKey SA.
WISeKey is committed to providing the necessary identity management and transaction platform to enable a new approach of cash flow management to reduce operations costs, intermediaries and other sources which result in the loss of aid, remittances and micro-credit initiatives, as well as to increase the awareness and control capability of those providing the funds. WISeKey and the OISTE Foundation developed for this commitment the NETeID Social Network. The NETeID System was designed as a set of online tools intended to empower poor and excluded people around the world to access via their digital identities different sources of assistances and interventions. The system is designed to constitute a global social network that pulls data from all tools into one easy-to-manage web interface which will include a combination of digital identity, security, privacy, web access, blogging and remittances services. Enabling the poor to access the NETeID Social Network may bring them information and services to empower them to become confident, productive members of a healthy society. Full Commitment >>
