INTERPOL PRESS CONFERENCE - TECHNOLOGY AGAINST CRIME CONFERENCE
Channel: INTERPOL
Date: 2013-07-09

This is the first international forum of its kind, bringing together senior representatives from the worlds of technology, security and industry in order to develop technological responses to evolving security challenges.

Jointly hosted by the French Ministry of Interior and INTERPOL, the event will be attended by government ministers, official delegates from INTERPOL member countries, industrial leaders, chiefs of police and security services, researchers and academics.

They will meet to discuss four main themes involving the use of technology:

    Preserving fundamental rights and freedoms;
    Protecting identities;
    Making public spaces and facilities safer;
    Fighting transnational crime and securing borders.

International experts will address these topics in plenary sessions and round tables. As a platform for technology and security innovation, the event will also highlight the latest initiatives from companies, regional bodies and international partners.

Unique in both scope and format, Technology Against Crime will also be a business event, gathering international decision-makers and representatives from the public and private sectors. Leaders from the world of industry will be able to engage with official delegations at pre-arranged meetings on selected topics of interest.
