HSP EMEA First Time in Switzerland – Why Did it Take So Long!

The 2025 edition of the High Security Printing™ (HSP) EMEA conference was located, for the first time in its history, in Switzerland, in the picturesque city of Basel. The experience for the 265 delegates, almost 40% of whom came from central banks, government ministries and issuing authorities, did not disappoint, as was evidenced by the overwhelmingly positive feedback from the survey at the conclusion of this three-day event (3-5 February).

In addition to its thriving tourism, pharma and engineering sectors, Switzerland is renowned for the integrity of its banking system. So, it seemed fitting that the conference welcoming addresses from the Swiss National Bank and Bank for International Settlements made reference to the network of companies operating in the ID and secure document sector as a testament to Swiss innovation.
