According to Frost & Sullivan, this was underlined by recent milestones in Smartrac's corporate history such as the successful customer collaboration and its related launch of the Telstar 18 – adidas’ NFC-enabled 2018 FIFA World Cup ball – as well as the strategic partnership with the Alibaba Group, which is geared to strengthen brand protection strategies.
This year’s accolade follows on from two Frost & Sullivan awards last year, honoring Smart Cosmos for its Consumer Experience Innovation, and Smartrac as Europe Company of the Year for its RFID technology solutions.
