Technology Innovator Awards 2025 | 5 The online food delivery sector has experienced significant growth, shaped by the unprecedented impact of the global pandemic. From imposed lockdowns to quarantine regulations, millions of households around the world were forced to remain at home and the demand for delivery dramatically increased. Today, food delivery continues to champion the sector, now driven by rising costs-ofliving and growing concerns among consumers. Information from Cardlytics’ State of Spend: Dining Sector Report details that total revenue for restaurants has fallen by 4% so far in 2025, driven by an 11% decline in visitor numbers. This is a sector that is desperately crying for change, and Menuverse aims to deliver. Based in Bloomington, Minnesota, Menuverse is an emerging company on a simple, yet powerful mission: to transform the ways in which restaurants connect with their customers. Striving to make the dining experience seamless for customers whilst helping restaurants thrive in an increasingly digital world, the company specialises in developing innovative restaurant ordering and payment technology solutions that empower clients to streamline operations, improve customer experiences, and increase revenue. Menuverse serves a range of clientele – from independent restaurants and cafes to multi-location chains – diverse in size and scale but each sharing a commitment to efficiency, customer satisfaction, and future-ready growth. Since its inception, the company has served this varied clientele with the core values of innovation, integrity, collaboration, and customer success, each of which has been instrumental for Menuverse – not only in sustaining its mission but in propelling it forward. “Our mission wouldn’t be possible without our values serving as the foundation,” Inthirith explained. “Innovation keeps us ahead of industry shifts; integrity builds trust with clients and partners; collaboration ensures we work closely with restaurants to address real needs; and our commitment to our customers’ success ensures that every feature we build and every service we provide delivers tangible value.” Driven by this mission, Menuverse offers solutions that enable its clients to deliver a seamless dining experience for every order they take. The company has developed an innovative online ordering and delivery system that centralises all food pick-up, delivery, and dinein options so that restaurateurs can remain in complete control of their operations. From offering guests the convenience of ordering and paying in just a few clicks to accepting incoming orders on the fly to managing commission-free deliveries, Menuverse empowers restaurants to manage their operations with efficacy. Combining cutting-edge technology with personalised support, Menuverse supports its clients through the journey from endto-end. Its platform wizard is equipped to guide each client through the setup of their online profile and menu, generating their personalised button to begin taking orders right away. With Menuverse’s support, clients can establish an engaging website, manage their online presence and marketing, and utilise a mobile application that will open a new sales channel for their business – all within one, easy-to-use platform. Menuverse has proven to be an integral partner to restaurants wishing to succeed in their markets, offering a wide array of operational and financial benefits its clients’ establishments. Employees can easily manage the platform with no coding required, meaning that operations can be delegated and shared amongst teams to ensure that service remains smooth. With a strong focus on reducing third-party service fees and increasing direct customer sales, Menuverse’s solutions can add a significant additional 30% to its clients’ online revenue. There are countless restaurants around the world that should be renowned for serving exquisite dishes but are unfortunately lacking in flavour when it comes to securing an online revenue. Whilst these restaurants are delivering high quality dishes, they are often losing potential sales because they have not established an online ordering service – where approximately 40% of dining experiences now occur. Menuverse has been born from this growing challenge, offering an innovative platform designed for restaurateurs and their clients – streamlining the process of online ordering and delivery through an all-in-one solution developed with the challenges of hospitality in mind. We spoke with Inthirith Baphrachanh below, Founder and CEO of Menuverse, as the company is named in the Technology Innovator Awards 2025. Of course, one of the biggest advantages Menuverse’s platform offers is data ownership. Its system allows to build direct relationships with their customers through tools that include email campaigns, promotional announcements, discounts, and customer engagement strategies. The company also helps clients to automate growth with features such as autopilot campaigns for second-time buyers, abandoned cart recovery, long-term re-engagement for dormant customers, and many more. Across these offerings, Menuverse upholds an unwavering commitment to empowering clients and streamlining the dining experience. Each client is provided with ongoing support, both throughout their journey with Menuverse and beyond. This includes ongoing support via chat and phone call, free coaching, meet and greet onboarding, regular new features, AI-powered delivery management and customer experience enhancement tools, and guidance on industry best practices. “Our clients often say they love working with us because they get the full package: the developer, the salesperson, and the CEO, all in one,” said Inthirith. “We don’t just provide a service – we empower our clients to understand the technology behind it. This hands-on approach ensures that they fully understand the ins and outs of owning and managing an online ordering platform. By choosing us, clients gain not just a system, but a partner committed to their longterm success in the digital space.” “By choosing us, clients gain not just a system, but a partner committed to their longterm success in the digital space.” Such services are delivered by a team that has been built upon collaboration, innovation, and respect. Menuverse’s people serve as its very heartbeat, driving the company forward with expertise, creativity, and a commitment to achieving innovation, customer satisfaction, and long-term growth. This team fosters an internal
Corporate Vision culture where every voice matters and every employee feels empowered to share ideas, experiment, and learn together. In this environment, full potential is unlocked to drive both individual growth and collective success. “Transparency, recognition, and continuous development are key pillars of how we operate,” Inthirith told us. “When recruiting, we prioritise individuals who are not only highly skilled but also adaptable, collaborative, and forward-thinking. We look for problemsolvers with a growth mindset – people who embrace challenges, communicate openly, and take ownership of their work. Beyond technical skills, we value integrity, empathy, and a genuine passion for contributing to something bigger than themselves.” With this mindset, Menuverse has reached new heights of success. Today, hundreds of restaurant owners use the company’s platform to streamline and enhance their operations, cementing its position as a trusted partner to establishments around the world. This status is underpinned by a number of glowing testimonials left by clients of Menuverse, including its first ever review from a client, now affectionately referred to as the “Million Dollar Google Review.” In the “Million Dollar” review, Huey Fung, Owner of Hip Sing BBQ Restaurant in Minnesota, wrote: “Menuverse has been an exceptional partner for our restaurant. They offer practically everything a restaurant needs to operate and grow online – websites, digital ordering, marketing, and more. With their ongoing support and expertise, our family business recently reached a major milestone: we purchased a million dollar real estate property. We truly could not have done it without Menuverse’s dedication and innovative solutions.” Of course, Menuverse understands that maintaining this frontrunning position requires continual improvement and innovation. The hospitality industry is evolving rapidly, with technology, customer expectations, and market demands reshaping the ways in which restaurants operate. Among these developments are the integration of artificial intelligence and automation to streamline operations, the growing emphasis on delivering personalised user experiences, and the increasing importance of secure and seamless payment solutions. Like many technology companies, Menuverse has been faced with the challenge of navigating such rapid industry shifts whilst ensuring that its solutions remain relevant and reliable. Customer expectations for speed, personalisation, and seamless digital experiences, for example, continue to grow at an unprecedented rate. Early on, the company also faced the challenge of earning trust in a competitive market dominated by larger, established players. To overcome such challenges, Menuverse remained laser-focused on its strengths: listening to clients, being agile in development, and investing in innovation. By maintaining close relationships with restaurants, the company was able to design solutions that directly addressed its clients operational pain points. It took a client-first approach that not only differentiated Menuverse in the market but also enabled the company to build long-term loyalty and credibility with clientele. Now, Menuverse stays ahead of industry developments by continuously monitoring industry trends, emerging technologies, and evolving consumer behaviours. The company actively invests in research and development, explores strategic partnerships, and encourages a culture of innovation across the team. Perhaps most integral to Menuverse’s operations is its mindset; rather than viewing change as a challenge to be overcome, the company believes that each market shift presents new opportunities for businesses to deliver value in ways that were once unimaginable. “This allows us not just to react to change but to anticipate it, ensuring that our solutions remain visionary and future-ready,” said Inthirith. “By encouraging innovation within our team and investing in research and development, we ensure that we remain ahead of the curve. Most importantly, we listen closely to our customers – their evolving needs guide how we adapt, refine, and innovate. This mindset allows us to not just keep pace with change, but to shape the future of our journey.” “We are not just building tools; we are shaping the future of restaurant ordering and payment technology.” Looking to the future, Menuverse has a number of exciting plans ahead. For the remainder of 2025, the company will be focused on expanding the capabilities of its platform to make restaurant ordering and payment even more seamless, secure, and personalised. This year, Menuverse will be introducing enhanced AI-driven features to help restaurants better understand customer behaviour, improve decision-making, and create truly tailored dining experiences. Alongside this, Menuverse is also looking to strengthen integrations with third-party tools, spanning everything from loyalty programmes to delivery platforms. These developments will ensure that clients can utilise an all-in-one solution that grows alongside them. What’s more, Menuverse will prioritise the expansion of its footprint into new markets – both domestically and internationally – as its reach continues to grow and scale. Since its inception, Menuverse has continually sought to reshape and reimagine the ways in which restaurants operate. The company has successfully enhanced the order, payment, and delivery processes of countless eateries and establishments and has made groundbreaking contributions to the wider hospitality sector through such endeavours. For its continued innovations and significant successes within this space, Menuverse has been rightfully recognised as North America’s Most Visionary Restaurant Ordering Platform 2025 – and its mission has only just begun. “Beyond 2025, our vision is to shape the future of hospitality technology by staying at the forefront of innovation,” Inthirith announced. “We are exploring emerging technologies such as voice ordering, predictive analytics, and advanced payment solutions to ensure that our clients remain ahead of industry trends. At the same time, we remain deeply committed to our vision: empowering restaurants to thrive in a digital world.” Founder’s Reflection A Story of Faith, Resilience, and Gratitude
Technology Innovator Awards 2025 | 7 “In December 2021, my life took an unexpected turn. I was rushed to the ER at St. Cloud Hospital in Minnesota on December 17, 2021, and remained hospitalized for three months — until March 15, 2022. What began as a fight for my life during COVID-19 became a profound journey of faith, recovery, and rediscovery. “Those were my most vulnerable moments. Bound to a wheelchair and having lost more than 70 pounds, I was told it could take up to three years to fully recover. Yet through it all, I held on to faith.” “I am forever grateful to God, to my family heritage that instilled strength and perseverance in me, and to the remarkable doctors, nurses, and staff at St. Cloud Hospital who cared for me during my weakest hours. Surviving and standing here today is nothing short of a miracle. “During my recovery, I focused on rebuilding not only my health but also my purpose. While still in a wheelchair, I dedicated myself to improving my software platform — enhancing integration, SEO, and overall business performance. What began as a personal battle to survive transformed into a mission to innovate and inspire. “Doctors predicted it would take three years before I could truly begin again, and they were right — but in a way none of us expected. As I reached full recovery, my company began to thrive. Every challenge, every setback, and every test of strength led me to this defining moment. “I am deeply thankful for the journey — for the lessons, the pain, and the miracle of life itself. True strength is discovered only when life tests you beyond your limits — and faith reminds you that miracles are real.” Contact: Inthirith Baphrachanh Company: Menuverse Corporation Email: support@menuverse. tech Web Address: https://www. menuverse.tech/
Corporate Vision The exploding ecosystem of machine, device, system and agent accounts significantly outnumber human users. NHIDs are rapidly becoming one of the largest unaddressed security threats of the decade. This solution will initially target the SME market, where companies and enterprises often lack the resources to implement advanced security measures. As its reach grows, Secure My Digital plans to expand its offering to larger organisations and government agencies seeking high-level data protection and advanced cybersecurity. Essentially, this service delivers vault-less secure passkeys, human and non-human identity capabilities. Looking to the future, Secure My Digital eagerly anticipates the upcoming launch of its Secure My Identity service, which can be easily overlaid onto existing platforms (not a rip-andreplace). Following this launch will come the Secure My Data offering, focused on tokenisation and protecting stolen data. Finally, the company will roll out Secure My Systems, which will include offerings to secure keys, certificates, and secrets. Each of these additions will be instrumental in protecting and securing digital identities, assets, and data for companies of all sizes and sectors. Beyond product rollouts, the company is looking forward to working with a wide range of customers in need of cybersecurity solutions, gaining invaluable insight into the cyber pain points of a variety of sectors. As Secure My Digital continues on its journey, it also looks to collaborate with a number of capital partners, maximising its reach, scale, and, ultimately, impact. Secure My Digital, named the Most Innovative Emerging Cybersecurity Service 2025, is redefining what it means to be secure in the age of human and machine convergence. Contact: Shane Muller Company: Secure My Digital Web Address: www.securemy.digital Most Innovative Emerging Cybersecurity Service 2025 Cybersecurity evolves at a rapid pace, and cybercriminals seem to be evolving much faster. With artificial intelligence helping to write phishing campaigns, forge identities, and automate social engineering at scale, the line between real and fake is quickly fading. Secure My Digital is a company developing a highly sophisticated cybersecurity service that protects digital identities from the ever-growing issue of cyberattacks and ransomware. We took a closer look at Secure My Digital below, following its recent recognition in the Technology Innovator Awards 2025. Secure My Digital is an Australian company with a global vision, on a mission to eliminate the devastating impact of ransomware whilst securing the future of digital assets. Serving SME and corporate clients from a large horizontal market, the company’s initial verticals include NFPs, finance, fintech, health, and professional services. It goes beyond preventing data breaches by operating with the mindset that the customer’s data may already be in the hands of cybercriminals, all the while striving to provide clients with the utmost peace of mind. This approach means that instead of operating in the fastpaced world of continually seeking to prevent a breach – building higher and stronger walls, better locks, or greater analysis – Secure My Digital delivers its services with the foundational assumption that the data has already been breached. This removes a target to compromise, meaning that there is nothing to be stolen, achieved through a vault-less key authentication capability, zero-knowledge tokenisation, and quantum-resistant authentication. Ultimately, Secure My Digital aims to make ransomware a thing of the past, effectively empowering individuals, businesses, and governments to protect their digital identities and assets with confidence. To achieve this vision, the company has designed a powerful, user-friendly solution that ensures digital security is accessible, reliable, and robust for all, regardless of their technical expertise. Secure My Identity, the company’s first offering, is an innovative cybersecurity service focused on addressing the weakest aspect of security: passwords. Though a foundational element of security, passwords are a common source of userend friction and are breach prone, phishing prone, and often the weakest link – with more than 80% of data breaches still stemming from weak or stolen passwords. In response, Secure My Identity offers a low friction, easy-to-remember password that, through the use of advanced cryptographic algorithms and Machine Learning, offers a vault-less, phishing resistant, unbreakable password that is entirely low risk, even if exposed. A core innovation of the services lies in the transformation of how passwords function, utilising advanced cryptography and context-aware key generation to offer users simple-toremember passwords that are entirely useless to criminals. Complementing this function is an Unbreakable Password System, expanding password encoding beyond ASCII to include thousands of Unicode characters – maximising entropy to nearly impossible to brute-force attacks. At its core, the service addresses both human AND nonhuman digital identities. While today’s cyber-defences focus primarily on user passwords and passkeys, Secure My Identity extends protection to non-human identities (NHIDs).
Technology Innovator Awards 2025 | 9 Building Bridges Between SMEs and AI Located in Milan, Electe was born from a mission to make data analytics accessible to European SMEs through artificial intelligence. This ambitious idea quickly gained momentum, and Electe now serves clients globally - with 80% of revenue currently coming from outside the EU - while strategically expanding its European presence with a privacy-first approach aligned with European data protection values. “Our mission stems from a fundamental belief: advanced data analytics shouldn’t be the privilege of large corporations with dedicated IT departments,” Fabio told us. “When I founded Electe in January 2023, this vision was personal – having served as CEO of my family’s HVAC business, Lauria Impianti, where I scaled revenue from €13.9M to €19.4M, I saw firsthand how smaller companies struggle with datadriven decisions.” The market’s response has been remarkable. Electe has built a thriving community of over 25,000 verified newsletter subscribers - doubling in the last 12 months alone - while web traffic has grown by 1000% compared to the previous year. The company has achieved consistent revenue growth, with 38% growth in 2024 compared to 2023, as companies implementing its solutions witness improvements in their operational efficiency and decision-making processes. Electe’s recognition extends beyond client success. The company has received multiple awards including the Le Fonti Awards 2025 for Excellence of the Year – Innovation & Leadership in AI Solutions and European CEO of the Year Award 2025 and the Global Recognition Award for AI excellence in 2024, and participation in the UP2B accelerator program. Overcoming Skepticism Through Results Of course, no journey is without its challenges, and, for Electe, this was proving that a solo entrepreneur was capable of building enterprisegrade AI solutions. “Traditional Italian business culture often emphasises credentials over results,” Fabio explained. “I overcame this through demonstrable customer outcomes and strategic partnerships with established organisations and trade associations.” Electe’s enterprise-grade credentials speak for themselves: EcoVadis certification, STAR certification, PCI DSS compliance, GDPR compliance and ESG reporting, with SOC and ISO certifications currently in progress. These standards demonstrate the technical rigor behind the platform. Critically, 80% of Electe’s revenue involves AI/ML projects including custom model development and proprietary platform licensing - not just platform usage. This technical depth goes well beyond typical BI tools and demonstrates genuine enterprisegrade capabilities. As an emerging company, maintaining financial sustainability without major funding rounds required Electe to find creative approaches and solutions. Rather than adopting a growth-at-any-cost mentality, Electe has maintained profitability by prioritising careful cost management and genuine product-market fit. Despite the transformative powers artificial intelligence has demonstrated across a variety of sectors, small and medium enterprises throughout Italy and wider Europe are still behind in its adoption. This lag can be attributed to a digital skills gap and limited resources, making the process daunting, fragmented, and entirely overwhelming. Enter Electe, a company aiming to close this critical gap and break down the barriers that limit access to artificial intelligence so that companies of all sizes can make informed, data-driven decisions. We took a closer look, below. Best AI-Based Data Analytics Platform 2025 (Europe): Electe A Distributed Team Approach To facilitate its ongoing growth, Electe operates through a distributed team model that has enabled sustainable growth without traditional VC backing. Whilst Fabio leads strategy and product development, the company also utilises an established network of specialised external collaborators who function as its external team. This has allowed Electe to access top industry talent whilst maintaining the flexibility and cost-efficiency essential for serving price-sensitive SME markets. As Electe grows and scales, its emerging internal culture emphasises client-centricity and rapid iteration at all levels. Every decision strategically starts by addressing real SME pain points, rather than theoretical AI possibilities. Addressing the European AI Gap Electe has observed that while the European AI market is experiencing unprecedented transformation – projected to grow from €119.80 billion in 2024 to €1,433.67 billion by 2033 – there is a critical gap in the market. Whilst enterprise solutions proliferate, small Italian companies show only 4.4% adoption in comparison to Europe’s 6.4% average. “We focus on this underserved segment, rather than competing with Microsoft or Google on enterprise features,” said Fabio. “My philosophy, outlined in my ‘Letter from 2028’ manifesto, advocates for asking not ‘How can AI optimise X?’ but ‘Should X exist at all?’ This radical reimagining approach helps us identify genuine automation opportunities rather than just digitising existing inefficiencies.” This is an approach that Electe will continue to uphold. Looking ahead, the company aims to enhance its core platform with advanced capabilities designed to address the most common pain points observed in SMEs across Europe. In particular, Electe will focus on unstructured data analysis and document processing – key areas where traditional BI tools struggle and Electe’s AI approach shows genuine differentiation. Expanding Across Europe Electe’s 2025-2027 roadmap is geared towards geographic expansion while maintaining its strong international client base. The company is targeting Germany’s business landscape – an ecosystem comprising 99% SMEs – which presents significant opportunity. Beyond that, it will focus on deeper integration with European CRM and ERP systems, enhanced multilingual support, and forming strategic partnerships with European entities who recognise the AI gap for SMEs but lack the specialised solutions to close it. “As we demonstrate strong traction across multiple markets globally, we’re considering a funding round to accelerate growth and product development,” Fabio shared. “Our goal is to build Electe into the leading independent AI analytics platform for SMEs worldwide, maintaining our focus on genuine accessibility and a privacy-first approach.” Contact: Fabio Lauria Company: Electe Web Address: www.electe.net
Corporate Vision LGPD2U exists to translate complex regulatory and technical requirements into practical steps that organisations can adopt within their daily routines and achieve a level of privacy that is both sustainable and meaningful. Since its inception, LGPD2U has guided in doing this by core values of exceeding expectations, striving for excellence, human connection, innovation, and transparency. These values have remained the same, yet they have gained more depth as the company has grown and matured. They have made the company mission possible by ensuring every decision taken and every service delivered is aligned by trust, clarity, and real impact for clients. LGPD2U’s clients come in a range of different sizes and from different sectors, from healthcare to education, technology to industry, and the company continues to adapt its approach to meet their level of maturity in privacy. Some of its clients are only just starting their journey, while others already have structured programmes and need specialised support. Whatever their needs, LGPD2U is committed to adapting its offering to meet them. Cristiano gives us a deeper insight into the people who make it all happen: “Our team plays a central role in everything we do. Success in privacy governance depends on consistency, attention to detail, and creativity. These qualities are only possible because of the people behind the company. Every project is the result of collaboration, where consultants, technical staff, and support teams bring together different perspectives to solve problems.” He continues, “Internally, our culture encourages everyone to innovate. Each person is motivated to identify bottlenecks in daily activities and propose solutions. At the moment, the whole team is undergoing training focused on automation with AI, so we can improve both our services and the way we work. This culture of continuous improvement is what allows us to remain relevant and deliver value in a fast-changing environment.” Indeed, AI is a technology that is advancing rapidly, and clear frameworks and best practices are still developing. Thus, the company needs to adapt continuously, testing new approaches while keeping compliance and ethics at the centre. Cristiano also acknowledges the lack of privacy culture within many organisations; laws and frameworks may exist, but without awareness and engagement from employees at all levels, compliance remains fragile. LGPD2U addresses this by investing in training, communication, and practical tools that bring privacy into daily routines. LGPD2U helps organisations manage their privacy and data protection in line with LGPD – Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (Brazil’s General Data Protection Law). It does so by building sustainable governance programmes using a blend of technical expertise and clear understanding of each client’s unique business needs. As we recognise LGPD2U within the Technology Innovator Awards 2025, we speak to CEO, Cristiano Silverio to learn more about its outstanding service offering. Best Strategic Data Privacy & Governance Consultancy 2025 - Brazil “Our mission is to make privacy accessible and valuable for organisations, showing that it is not just about legal compliance, but also about trust, culture, and long-term business strength.” Technology itself does present its challenges. While it creates opportunities for efficiency, it doesn’t come without complexity in data management, and cyberattacks are an increasing problem for businesses, with a single incident having a potentially devastating impact. Cristiano tells us how LGPD2U stays ahead of these issues: “We combine continuous monitoring of global trends with internal innovation. We encourage our team to experiment with automation, AI tools, and new methods of delivering governance, always with the goal of reducing risks and strengthening trust. This approach allows us to not only react to change but anticipate it where possible.” Ultimately, privacy for LGPD2U isn’t only about legal compliance, but it is also based on the belief that it can be a source of competitive advantage when integrated into business strategy and culture. With such a deep level of expertise and commitment to the cause, the company has truly solidified its position as a leader within the industry – and it has a track record to prove it. In five years of operations, LGPD2U has only had two client cancellations, which reflects the strength of its long-term relationships. This is while its services have been internationally recognised several times, with these awards reflecting the consistency and quality of its approach. So, how does LGPD2U plan to innovate into the future? Cristiano reveals, “For 2025 and the years ahead, our focus is on making privacy governance more accessible and effective. We are migrating our client interface to a conversational model, so that both organisations and data subjects can interact with governance tools in a more natural and intuitive way. “We are also preparing the launch of a self-guided governance platform. The goal is to support small- and medium-sized businesses that often lack resources, giving them access to good practices and showing how privacy can create value instead of being seen only as a regulatory burden. “In parallel, we are planning to expand our geographical presence. Privacy is a global concern, and by being closer to different markets, we can better understand local needs while maintaining a consistent standard of quality and trust.” Email: [email protected] Website: www.lgpd2u.com.br

This is true across the host of industries the company serves with its solutions, ranging from SMEs to healthcare and law firms. As both this award and Richard’s testimonial above suggest, it is across the education and non-profit sectors in particular where the company truly shines. Organisations in these spaces face a range of unique challenges, but the team here are well versed in them all and know exactly what to suggest – making sure that every client is afforded data protection, reliable technology, and simplified processes. The excellence STCNtech connotes at every turn is also reflected in its values, which span its wealth of expertise, reliability-building experience, certified knowledge and proven skills, and commitment to tailored security solutions. In the 12 years since the company opened its doors, these values have only become rooted deeper in the organisation, to the point where they are today on display within every interaction across every team member and every client meeting. This makes STCNtech to go-to provider for technology success. It goes without saying that in today’s digital-focused world, robust IT solutions are imperative for any business or organisation looking to succeed. Save time by cutting out all the noise and go for the best: the company we are proud to recognise as the Best IT Support Provider for Education & Non-Profits 2025 – Pennsylvania. With a free, no-pressure call being the first step of this process, there is no better time than the present to begin powering success and protecting the future with expert guidance from STCNtech, LLC. More on any of the services discussed above can be found at the link below. Contact: Bruce Sarte Company: STCNtech, LLC Web Address: https://www.stcntech.com/ Combining cybersecurity and cloud-based solutions with strategic guidance, the ‘TechSperts’ behind STCNtech have spent more than a decade nurturing technology partnerships that power growth and protect futures. The company is guided by the belief that IT services should not only strengthen and secure but also fuel growth across organisations. By approaching these services from the perspective of a partner, one that can help remove barriers, reduce risk, and stabilise, STCNtech adds value at every turn. As for how these IT services make a business more successful and secure, STCNtech helps first and foremost by aligning a company’s technology with their future goals. For example, its services guarantee zero data loss thanks to enterprise-grade safeguards, continuous oversight assurance stemming from real-time monitoring and management, complete physical protection due to a blend of digital defences and physical safeguards, as well as tailored solutions on the back of its consultative approach to service delivery. With such a comprehensive portfolio of solutions to boot, it is clear that the company’s focus is not on short-term support, but long-term stability. The partnerships it nurtures with clients are indicative of this, with these helping to prevent disruption through the provision of solutions that are not only targeted, but which scale with the client’s business. On the back of this, trust is built, clarity is enabled, and a foundation of sustainable growth built. Unsurprisingly, this is more than the empty promises most IT support providers deliver, and STCNtech’s willingness to put its money where its mouth is can be seen across the host of client success stories it boasts. A great example of this is a project carried out by the team for a local branch of Holiday Inn Express, during which they installed a completely new wireless network, getting things up and running within just a few days. The regional manager left a glowing review in the wake of this, praising the team’s speed and friendliness.

The platform is hosted in the cloud, meaning that users can access it anywhere with an internet connection, and all documents are stored securely and well-organised. Not only is TD Suite designed to be as intuitive and user-friendly as possible, but the platform also automatically generates PDF and online publications, allowing users to focus on their content without worrying about technical complexity.

We designed our system to mirror real world workflows, not theoretical flowcharts. The result is a modular, flexible infrastructure that aligns with how compliance is actually done across jurisdictions.” The platform is natively aligned with GCC regulators, such as CBUAE, ADGM, DFSA, SAMA, CMA, so users do not face generic solutions but regionally adapted tools. This approach ensures clients stay compliant without constant rebuilds, keeping them agile and operationally efficient. One of the main challenges facing Azakaw has been educating the market.

By showing how digital onboarding and real-time monitoring accelerate trust, reduce operational risk, and speed up market entry, Azakaw’s platform has helped clients see compliance as a driver of growth. Caroline continues: “We stay ahead of the curve by maintaining a dual focus: listening closely to regulators and listening equally to clients.

We codify values into everyday processes so that behaviours remain consistent across all our offices. We invest in digital tools and automation to reduce repetitive tasks, giving our teams more time for high-value work, collaboration, and innovation. “This combination of practitioner knowledge, cultural integrity, and operational excellence is what allows Azakaw to scale while preserving trust, respect, and clarity of purpose.” Gaining notoriety recently in the Technology Innovator Awards 2025, Azakaw was bestowed with the title of RegTech Innovators of the Year 2025 - Middle East for its endeavours.
