“We are pleased to ink this understanding with techUK, our first MOU with a partner outside of Asia.

SGTech and techUK have a shared mission to be strong industry pillars enabling greater digital transformation and tech innovation. They will organise a roundtable session in the coming months to discuss the key opportunities and concerns companies in the cybersecurity sector face.
