Who We Are
HTX is a first-of-its kind agency in the world that is focused on exponentially empowering homeland security with science and technology.
In this hi-tech age where change is constant, homeland security threats are evolving all the time and becoming increasingly complex. It is thus imperative that our Home Team Departments are equipped with the right technological tools that would allow them to stay ahead of the curve and tackle the latest challenges.
This is where we come in.
We are the catalyst.
We are the force multiplier.

Our Logo
The stylised “X” is a starburst with a pattern of divergent rays radiating from a source signifying motion, energy and vitality. It represents the HTX community that is bonded by a common mission to exponentially impact the safety and security of Singapore through science and technology, and be the Home Team’s force multiplier.
The rays with the gradient colours connote “innovation in motion” as the HTX community experiments, invents and co-creates to ensure that exciting missions are accomplished. The dots attached to the end of the rays convey how ideas, like dots, connect when exceptional minds collaborate and when extraordinary thinking is applied.
The choice of blue and purple is deliberate. Blue represents trust, truth and stability, and is the colour of the Home Team. This also serves as a reminder that HTX is an integral member of the Home Team. Purple represents creativity, innovation and independence—qualities essential in science and technology and that propel the HTX community to constantly exceed expectations.
