STI's operations and intellectual property are situated in the UK, and the European market offers enormous potential for the implementation of SHEP System technology.

As a first step towards its AIM listing, STI retained the services of a leading, UK-based chartered accountant char·tered accountant

The team will include a nominated advisor ("NOMAD"), nominated brokers, a solicitor to STI and reporting accountants. Based on these meetings, final selections are expected within two weeks.
