The partnership marks an important milestone in IFGICT’s international network, connecting the Federation with a Greek technology and advisory company focused on cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, digital transformation, and digital resilience.
The International Federation of Global & Green Information Communication Technology (IFGICT) is pleased to announce Tools of Tech as its first partner in Greece, marking an important step in the Federation’s international development and its commitment to fostering collaboration across the global technology ecosystem.
This partnership brings together two organisations that recognise the growing importance of secure, responsible, and sustainable technological development. As digital technologies continue to transform economies, public institutions, and businesses, international cooperation is increasingly important to promote innovation while addressing cybersecurity risks, regulatory challenges, and the need for resilient digital infrastructures.
A Partnership Built Around Technology and Innovation
Headquartered in Athens, Greece, Tools of Tech provides advisory services and technology solutions in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence governance, digital transformation, and defence and security. Its work supports public-sector institutions and private-sector organisations navigating technological change, regulatory requirements, and emerging security challenges.
Through this partnership, IFGICT welcomes Tools of Tech into its international partner network, creating opportunities to explore collaboration in areas where digital innovation, cybersecurity, and sustainability intersect.
The partnership reflects a shared interest in advancing technology in ways that support organisational development, strengthen digital capabilities, and encourage responsible adoption of emerging technologies.
Advancing Secure and Responsible Digital Transformation
Cybersecurity and artificial intelligence are becoming increasingly central to digital transformation strategies. Organisations must not only adopt new technologies but also ensure that their systems, processes, and governance structures are prepared to manage evolving risks and regulatory expectations.
Tools of Tech’s areas of expertise include cybersecurity advisory, AI governance, secure communications, critical infrastructure resilience, and regulatory compliance. These areas are particularly relevant to organisations seeking to strengthen their digital maturity while maintaining security, accountability, and operational resilience.
The collaboration with IFGICT provides a foundation for potential initiatives that connect international expertise, promote knowledge exchange, and encourage the development of secure and sustainable digital ecosystems.

Strengthening IFGICT’s International Network
