Axess Technologies was asked to design a training programme for a packaging company in the pharmaceutical sector. The company had developed a security feature that could be sold to other packaging companies and brand owners. At the same time it needed to review and select the most appropriate, externally available security devices that would protect its clients� products and packaging from counterfeit and diversion. The training programme therefore had the following aims:

- To provide an overview of the technologies currently available that could be appropriate for the company to use in their clients� packaging.
- To present a summary of industry sectors most affected by brand protection issues, enabling a better understanding of those sectors, their needs and product requirements, with the aim of finding new markets for their own security device.
- To facilitate a discussion and a workshop between representatives from different departments within the company in order to identify a project where their own security feature could be used.

15 people attended the training; the day was scheduled as follows:
