Suprema, a global leader in intelligent access control and physical security solutions, is hosting its global partner conference, ‘Suprema Global Partner Program (SGPP) 2026,’ at Lahan Select Gyeongju in Gyeongbuk, South Korea, on November 11–12.
SGPP 2026 brings together more than 300 participants, including key global partners as well as executives and employees from Suprema’s headquarters and eight overseas subsidiaries across North America, Latin America, the UK, Europe, the Middle East, India, Japan, and Asia. For the first time, the entire workforce of Suprema’s overseas subsidiaries is coming together with headquarters staff and global partners to strengthen business ties and share a common vision for the future. The event also features dedicated technical sessions where Suprema’s global technical support engineers are trained on next-generation technologies and exchange field expertise, establishing a consistent global standard for technical support.
Under the main theme “Strengthening Our Core, Reshaping the Future of Security,” Suprema is unveiling its mid- to long-term business strategy.
First, Suprema is reinforcing its core in both security and biometrics. At the heart of its security strategy is ‘Security by Design,’ a principle of building cybersecurity into every product from the start rather than adding it later. This protection extends across every layer, from the hardware, through the software and credentials, to the communications and the cloud, and is reinforced by trusted data protection that meets stringent global regulatory requirements such as the EU’s GDPR. Suprema’s on-premises security platform, BioStar X,’ and its cloud-based access control platform, ‘BioStar Air,’ carry this layered protection from edge devices all the way to the platform.
Next, Suprema addresses enterprise environments with 1:2 million facial authentication server matching, while AI Vision built on its facial authentication technology extends the scope of security from access points to entire spaces, setting the direction for next-generation integrated security.
For the first time in SGPP history, Suprema has set up a dedicated hands-on ‘Experience Zone’ to show its technology in action. Replicating real-world deployment environments, the zone showcases end-to-end access security scenarios powered by facial authentication-based AI Vision, from kiosk-based facial enrollment and frictionless walk-through access to multi-camera real-time tracking, tailgating detection, and departure checkout.
Hosting the event in Gyeongju, a UNESCO World Heritage city, gives global partners a firsthand look at Korea’s rich history and culture. On the second day, Suprema will lead a guided tour of Gyeongju’s landmarks, including Bulguksa Temple, Seokguram Grotto, and Cheomseongdae Observatory, to further strengthen its global partnerships.
“Access control is no longer a standalone door system but part of the enterprise IT infrastructure, and customers now evaluate it by the trustworthiness of the whole system rather than individual devices,” said James Lee, Founder and Chairman of Suprema Inc. “By combining security built into every layer based on biometric expertise, we are extending that trust across entire spaces. Sharing this direction with our global partners in Gyeongju is deeply meaningful.”
