Our aim is to foster relationships between operators, manufacturers and solutions providers by providing a forum for debate. SIG holds annual workshops which see some of the largest organisations within the industry come together to discuss innovation in the current landscape.

Innovative solutions are promoted through SIG channels, including our website’s News Hub, events, social media and in discussions with SIG’s industry network.
