Testimonials

"UK-Southeast Asia Tech Week gave iProov something that is genuinely hard to buy: credibility and access at the right level, in three markets, in a single week. As a UK company scaling in Southeast Asia, being part of a UK government-backed delegation opened doors to regulators, government departments and major financial institutions that would otherwise have taken us months to reach. Sponsoring the event amplified that further: it positioned us as a serious partner in the region's digital identity and fraud-prevention agenda rather than just another visiting vendor, and it gave our team a platform to speak to the deepfake and identity-fraud challenges these markets are grappling with right now. We'd encourage any UK tech company with regional ambitions in Southeast Asia to take part." 

— Milko Radotic, Vice President, Asia Pacific, iProov

"It was an honour for Cyber Trust to represent the UK during Southeast Asia Tech Week 2026 in both the Philippines and Malaysia. The quality of the introductions, networking opportunities and support provided by the DBT team, now part of BIST, was exceptional. We were introduced to senior government representatives, influential business leaders and key organisations that would have been difficult to access independently, leading to new opportunities and strategic partnerships. We remain in regular contact with the BIST team and would wholeheartedly recommend future trade missions and programmes delivered by BIST and its partners."
