À propos de WEMET

Une worktech qui évolue avec vous

WEMET est une worktech toulousaine qui vise à révolutionner les échanges professionnels. En 2020, son cofondateur Samuel Dassa part d’un constat :

les cartes de visite papiers ne sont pas pratiques et plus adaptées au monde du travail actuel.

Ainsi, est née la carte de visite connectée : la WeCard. Grâce à la technologie NFC, que l’on retrouve dans le paiement sans contact par exemple, elle vous permet d’échanger un large panel d’informations. La valeur clé chez WEMET c’est l’expérience utilisateur. Il était donc important pour nous de faire évoluer notre produit en innovant au quotidien mais également de vous garantir un produit qui évolue avec et tout au long de vos projets professionnels.

Nous créons des liens, pas que des cartes

Première société à proposer la carte de visite connectée sur le marché français, WEMET compte aujourd’hui plus de 25 000 entreprises équipées, 100 000 utilisateurs de WeCards et plus de 10 collaborateurs.
