ASOKIVA launches for global security market

A specialist consultancy, ASOKIVA has launched to help manufacturers navigate certification, market access and international growth.
 
Founded by international security and technology specialist Paul Spencer, ASOKIVA draws on 25 years’ experience across the UK, Europe, Scandinavia, the Middle East and the US.
 
Bringing together certification expertise, market intelligence and commercial strategy, the new business supports manufacturers looking to enter new territories and identify commercial opportunities.
 
“Working with manufacturers across different markets, I’ve seen how much can vary from one territory to another, from certification and regulatory requirements through to customer expectations and routes to market,” said Paul Spencer, Founder and CEO of ASOKIVA.
 
“This extensive experience is what led me to the creation of ASOKIVA. We want to bring together the technical understanding of certification with the commercial knowledge needed to assess a market and help identify where the growth opportunities are, knowing it will be different for every business.”
 
ASOKIVA works with manufacturers across security, access management, connected devices, critical infrastructure and the built environment. 
 
With the opportunity to engage with manufacturers before certification programmes begin, the aim is to support both new market entry and businesses looking to develop opportunities within markets where they already operate.
 
Paul added: “I’ve spent much of my career working across the security sector and associated international markets, so bringing this experience together felt like a natural next step.”
 
“There is a real opportunity to help them make the most of the markets beyond their existing home territories, and this is where I see ASOKIVA making a real difference. Our ambition is to connect certification and regulatory expertise with the commercial insight needed to assess markets, identify opportunities and support sustainable growth.”
