One of the highlights of 2019: the visit of the Japan Trust Service Forum to the Munich office of Bernstein. JTSF is the body responsible for the definition and implementation of digital timestamping and electronic seals solutions within Japan. JTSF is a joint initiative that brings together government, industry and academia.

We took this unexpected opportunity to present Bernstein to a Japanese audience for the first time, and it also paved the way for a rapid inclusion into Bernstein of digital timestamps officially recognized by Japanese authorities and courts.

The Bernstein team is really grateful for this visit, we look forward to supporting the JTSF delegation in its mission to promote collaboration and mutual recognition between Japan and EU authorities in the field of trusted digital services.
