Tridge plans to continue to create business opportunities for beneficiaries from the government stepping on this first step. Through various data-based B2B SaaS solutions, it is possible to strengthen the capabilities of farmers and small and medium-sized businesses.

We will continue to grow as an infrastructure platform that can serve the needs of governments.”
