So, over the next 18 months there will
be significant expansion here within the
region. And we'll look also through potential
government subsidies to have a centre of
excellence around our developments and
engineering, particularly around the Arabic
language capabilities of the product.
Are there any countries the company
will focus on?
The UAE and Bahrain – purely because
of historical connections that we've had.
Obviously, the way the market is rapidly
evolving in Saudi Arabia that's probably the
next big industry we will target.
In terms of your customers what are
their key requirements?
Predominantly, it's all around operational
efficiency, providing improved customer
service and cutting costs, Artificial Intelligence
is going to be a key driver for countries to
achieve their Smart City initiatives.
How can CIOs increase the efficiency

A decision was made to move the
headquarters to Singapore. The reason

were actively encouraging investments
in these cutting-edge technologies. They
wanted to create a centre of excellence
within Singapore, drive investment, bring
knowledge into the local workforce and
give students the option to be trained in
these very advanced technologies. That's
obviously going to have a knock-on effect
within the Singapore economy. n
