"The EPF Tech Fund has been a key investor since 2017, and its commercial experience has been incredibly valuable to our company in funding and scalability as well as business advisory. The fund has assisted Visiosoft to develop and scale our IoT business in 4 years. The EPF Tech Fund is a long term, active investor and has also secured strategic partnerships with international players. I am glad to have them next to us as a partner and investor."

"The EPF Tech Fund invested in Smartview in 2018 when the business had limited commercial traction with an idea of visualising IoT data. Today Smartview has dynamic, API ready platform integrated with over 20 IoT devices and is agnostic to any network protocol device. We are grateful to the EPF Tech Fund's startegic involvement and giving us the freedom to build the business to what it is today, and being able to call on their professional experience and capital when required. Thank you to the EPF Tech Fund for helping us grow and continuing to walk this journey with us."
