TruTag Technologies has developed an exciting and highly disruptive solution which will have a huge impact globally. The potential application of the TruTag authentication platform is extremely broad, ranging from food, medicine, to traditional Chinese medicine, milk powder, wine, and other high value and mission critical products.”
