LONDON, April 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (“Gorilla”) (NASDAQ: GRRR), a global provider of AI-based edge video analytics, IoT technologies, and cybersecurity, today announced that it has won a significant Smart Government project in the MENA region.

"I’m humbled and overjoyed by this win, which represents one of the most substantial projects in Gorilla’s history,” said CEO Jay Chandan. “Our team's unwavering determination and hard work have led us to this milestone and I'm immensely proud of their achievements. This significant entry into the MENA region brings us closer to our mission of expanding our global footprint and driving innovation that empowers people and organizations around the world.

"At Gorilla we have remained dedicated to creating technological solutions for both public and private sectors for over two decades now. Being awarded the initial project in the MENA back in November was an important win, but now that we've secured this additional opportunity in the region, I believe we have established Gorilla as a key player in the market. Governments in the region are investing heavily to transition from legacy systems to disruptive and newer technologies and are experiencing a significant leapfrog event in their digital transformation journey and we are well positioned to help build it.

“We've secured the first phase of the project, which is expected to be over $100 million in value, and expect the second phase, which will begin later this year, to be higher in value. This deal is the largest in Gorilla's history and is a testament to the trust and confidence in our products and solutions.”

“The win demonstrates Gorilla’s abilities as an end-to-end solutions provider and global operator. Our deliverables include building out the infrastructure layer, customizing our software solutions, integrating the entire system and ultimately managing the system through its lifecycle. The bottom line is it cements Gorilla as a platform-as-a-service solution provider,” added Chandan.
