12 More NFC / RFID Projects Announced for France



As a follow up to my blog post "Is Nice the Smartest City in the World" of 6th July 2010, I can confirm that we have been made aware of an announcement by Christian Estrosi, the French Minister for Industry and the Mayor of Nice, details of a further twelve NFC and RFID projects. Estrosi also confirmed combined funding of €4.5 million from the French government for the new projects..

The successful projects include applications in the trade, tourism, health and homecare services, sustainable development and consumer services. They include:

· M_Stadium. France Telecom plans to develop a range of NFC services for stadium events including paperless tickets, accreditation and interactive labels scattered in and around the stadiums.

· NFC-TTH. SNCF Proximités plans to develop a range of services transport and tourism for handicapped travellers using NFC, RFID and geolocation services.

· Onco-Trace. Creative Eurecom aims to use RFID and NFC technology to improve the way in which patients receiving chemotherapy treatments are monitored, both in hospitals and in the home.

· Self Scan Mobile. Keyneosoft is to develop a service to enable self scan retail checkouts to be replaced with NFC mobile phones, including integrating the service with mobile shopping lists, couponing and payments functions.

· Shop'N'more. Laser Loyalty is to develop an NFC-based multi-brand loyalty and promotions system.

· Alice. Mindscape has received funding to develop a B2B2C service platform using the Nabaztag RFID rabbit.

· Autopartage. A car sharing application proposed by Continental Automotive aims to increase the use of car sharing services using NFC technology.

· Barfid. Systerel plans to use RFID technology to develop a new type of level crossing barrier that will provide a higher level of safety for uses of rail crossings.

· Confiance. Extelia is to develop a trusted third party platform designed specifically to meet the needs of the service sector, making it easier to handle the service billing process.
