MONTREAL, Nov. 13, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - From a local, entrepreneurial, family-owned company in the 1970's to the consolidator of the Canadian paging and trunking industry in the 1980's, Telesystem grew to become a global driver of the telecommunications marketplace by the mid-1990's. As such, it contributed significantly to shaping this industry and to enhancing Canada's high-tech profile on the international scene. At the start of the new millennium, the Company sold its telecom assets to focus on creating, acquiring and managing game-changing media and technology companies. Recognizing the importance of supporting entrepreneurship, Telesystem has raised in excess of one billion dollar in venture capital and co-founded Tandem Expansion, one of Canada's leading growth equity investor. To further entrepreneurship in developing economies and encourage youths to pursue their dreams, Telesystem developed two social enterprises: Enablis and TRIOOMPH.
You are invited to discover:
- How Telesystem creates long-term value through innovation, strategic partnerships, international scalability, mergers and acquisitions;
- The opportunities afforded by synergizing Telesystem's media businesses;
- Why Telesystem's leaders are so motivated to support entrepreneurship;
- What the future holds for Telesystem.
We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you to this most interesting luncheon presentation.
