A Female Entrepreneur Bridging Art & Tech

Swiss tech newcomer SmartStamp is headed by Juli Cho Bailer who started out as an art professional and museum curator in New York City. Find out more about how she navigates the different worlds of art and technology as CEO and co-founder and hear her talk about how tech can protect the work of artist and collections for the future as well as disrupt the trade with fake art and collectibles.

The inspiration behind SmartStamp is to be a 21st century smart ‘stamp’ for artists. In addition to the historical artist estate stamp or foundry stamp, or print studio’s chopmark, we now have a tamper proof digital stamp for new creations, but that can also help ensure the identity of cultural heritage objects of our past. We live in an age of fake everything — goods, news, money, videos. Smart tech can help disrupt the counterfeit trade! says Juli Cho Bailer, CEO and co-founder of SmartStamp.
