company’s
early beginnings, challenges, and achievements over the past two decades, renew the commitment to our core values, and thank all stakeholders for their steadfast support.
Started in Singapore with a small team of staff members dedicated to a common vision and purpose, ST Telemedia ventured into new business areas and markets with boldness and passion. Today, our business focus has expanded from basic telephony services and infrastructure to advanced and emerging services. ST Telemedia is represented, directly or through our portfolio companies and affiliates, in over 60 countries globally.
