Cyber Wales has taken part in a trade mission to the Special Operations Forces Exhibition and Conference (SOFEX) 2024 in Aqaba, Jordan.
Eight member companies of the Cyber Wales ecosystem were flown to Jordan and provided hotel accommodation by Petra Global, a leading provider of security solutions with 30 years of experience in the region.
The companies, who shared a stand with True Matters Jordan, a founding member of the emerging Jordan Cyber Security Cluster, were:
- Alpha 56 Solutions Limited
- Arcanum Cyber Security Limited
- Cyber Wales CIC
- Espanaro Limited
- P3M Works
- Pervade Software Limited
- SudoCyber Limited
- Shayype
Dan Edmunds, Director of Espanaro Limited, said:
“SOFEX24 was an incredible first experience for the Espanaro team to understand and penetrate the defence markets outside of the UK. We are already exploiting the opportunities made with flights booked to Egypt to follow up with potential new clients, as well as some great connections made with UK businesses. We look forward to building the relationship with Cyber Wales and the collaboration opportunities within the UK and beyond”.
This opportunity was made possible by Faheem Azhar, International Cluster Manager of the Cyber Wales Middle East Cyber Security Cluster, which he established in the region in 2020.
