Mobile Connect is the global mobile industry’s secure universal identity solution.  By March 2017 it had been made available to over 3 billion consumers worldwide and with operators in many countries now collaborating to offer services to their consumers, the service is fast becoming a major competitor in the world of secure personal data sharing.

Mobile Connect’s unique service allows for a global interoperable solution that gives the user a simple, convenient and consistent way to log-in to all their digital services whilst reducing the risk of identity theft and enhancing consumer loyalty to the digital service provider.

This seminar, aimed at operators and digital service providers looking to offer secure identity services to their customers, will highlight the growth of Mobile Connect in Asia and around the globe and showcase use cases and working practices from those already deploying the service. The session will discuss the need for a ubiquitous digital identity solution in the mobile industry and the role that Mobile Connect plays within that.

This seminar took place at Room Ru 1&2, Jumeirah Hotel
