Advisory Council

The GlobalPlatform Advisory Council is a forum which meets at least twice each year. Advisory Council meetings provide all GlobalPlatform members with the opportunity to engage directly with the Board of Directors, committee chairs, and GlobalPlatform's Technical and Executive Directors. The purpose of meetings is to provide a framework for an open dialogue around priority issues. Members are encouraged to share insight and expertise regarding industry trends affecting their business interests and which ultimately will affect the GlobalPlatform Specifications. By seeking member feedback at this level and using it to shape the organization's strategic and technical priorities and activities, GlobalPlatform ensures that its technology always remains relevant and evolves in line with members' needs and market requirements.


GlobalPlatform is the worldwide leader in smart card infrastructure development. As of October 2008, 90 known GlobalPlatform-based implementations had been reported worldwide and an estimated 305.7 million GlobalPlatform-based smart cards had been deployed. Additionally, two billion mid range USIM/SIM cards worldwide are estimated to use GlobalPlatform card technology to enable over-the-air (OTA) application downloads for 3G and GSM mobile networks. These figures are predicted to rise significantly by the end of 2009.
