STOCKHOLM, April 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Neonode Inc. (NASDAQ: NEON) and Merim Groupe have signed an Original Equipment Manufacturer agreement for Merim Groupe to design, market and sell contactless kiosk products and solutions featuring Neonode Touch Sensor Modules.

In 2017, Merim Groupe started to rollout their self-ordering kiosk solutions at Burger King restaurants across France.

"The quick service restaurant (QSR) segment is a key segment in the interactive kiosk market and we look forward to growing our contactless touch business for QSRs with Merim Groupe," said Dr. Urban Forssell, CEO of Neonode.

Nicolas Appert, CEO of Merim Groupe said: "Our AIR-CLICK solution is an attractive proposition for businesses, as it enables converting even inert, non-touch enabled, screens into contactless touch systems. Combining the AIR-CLICK solution with Merim's contactless payment systems creates a 100% contactless ordering experience for customers."
