With sizeable new opportunities in both Africa and southeast Asia already well advanced, being part of the MICT group strengthens the infrastructure and framework to support such rapid global expansion. The mutual benefits brought to each party by this transaction are already making material differences to the enlarged group. I remain very excited about the abundance of opportunities we have for Tingo Mobile and MICT, both in our immediate and long-term future.”
