The IBDA was created in 2010 to connect the banknote design and design decision-maker communities with all other actors in the banknote industry. Since then we have evolved in partnership with the banknote community and act as a dedicated and unique platform, bringing together the knowledge, information and experience of our community. We facilitate the sharing of knowledge and insights via a range of educational and information exchange activities such as seminars, conferences and publication. Our greatest single asset is ‘community’. We act as the unified voice for the international banknote designer community, representing their interests, needs and concerns to relevant banknote industry actors such as: - Printers - Suppliers - Technology Developers - Media - Conferences - Other Industry Associations - Central Banks
