Cogito Group exhibited at IndoDefence with Team Defence Australia – an initiative organised by the Australian Defence Export Office (DEC) in conjunction with the Centre for Defence Industry Capability (CDIC) and Austrade.
The purpose of the visit was to determine Cogito Group’s fit in the Indonesian market, develop Indonesian contacts and networks, get introduced to interested decision-makers, and enhance Cogito Group’s profile in Indonesia. The visit provided comprehensive opportunities to collaborate, learn and promotion Australian cyber security overseas.
