This achievement sets new industry standards for resilience and highlights Chiptech’s ongoing commitment to driving digital transformation and delivering impactful, scalable solutions across the sector.

In reaction to Chiptech’s return as Headline Sponsor, Alyson Scurfield, Chief Executive Officer of the TSA, said, “We are delighted that Chiptech continues to support ITEC through headline sponsorship. The positive impact the event has on the wider industry continues to grow each year, and without our sponsors, this fantastic conference simply couldn’t happen. A huge thank you to Chiptech for all of your valuable support in helping to make ITEC such a success!”
