The partnership will enable Vortex IoT and Thales Group to collaborate and explore areas of mutual interest relating to smart cities, Industry 4.0 and digital twins. It will enable Vortex IoT, a disruptive IoT company, to continue innovating its remote trust end-to-end sensor system in partnership with Thales Group, a major global provider of secure public sector infrastructure solutions.

Thales Group’s National Digital Exploitation Centre is a joint initiative between Thales Group and the Welsh Government.

"At Vortex, our ambitions have always been to bring products to market using best of breed and emerging technologies that have global scale appeal and solve known business and societal level challenges. With Thales Group having global footprint and multi-channel reach we were very happy when they approached us to partner.

"The partnership is also a testament to the hard work and positive relationships that exist between France and Wales. Our smart city products are built on a full end to end system approach and working with Thales Group demonstrates not only our commitment to best practice but also recognises the opportunity these products present when collaborating with a global market leader.”

We are pleased to be partnering with Vortex IoT, with collaborations that harness Thales Group's expertise to make their exciting IoT capabilities market leading for security and resilience for specific markets.
