摘要

Colleagues were aghast when Jacek Kowalski, then 35, announced in late 1994 he was leaving a top job at fast-growing smart card manufacturer Gemplus to create his own company focused on contactless chip card technology. "I was thinking of telling Jacek, 'You're crazy, you're too small,'" recalls Remy de Tonnac, who worked with Rowalski at Gemplus and now is chairman of the board at Kowalski's company, Inside Contactless. "But he had a vision that contactless would be real big." Today, plenty of people see a big future for contactless. U.S.-based Dreifus Associates projects fourfold growth in global sales of contactless chips, from 150 million last year to 622 million in 2008. A big advantage of contactless is that chips can be embedded in a card, cell phone, or almost anything else, allowing users to wave that device past a reader to pay or identify themselves. The potential of contactless wasn't so obvious a decade ago. But after years of fund-raising and product development, Kowalski has built a growing company that is among the top four suppliers of contactless chips, behind much larger competitors Philips Semiconductors of the Netherlands and Germany-based Infineon Technologies AG, and roughly on a par with Japan's Sony Corp. (Sony says it sold 17 million FeliCa contactless chips in its fiscal year that ended March 31; Inside sold 18 million chips in 2003, primarily for access control, ID and transit applications, and for tags that track products as they move through a supply chain.)
