STRATEGIC FINANCING ROUND TO SUPPORT INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION

Since the start of 2017, the Group has stepped up its expansion in and especially outside France, notably through partnerships in Switzerland and Spain.

The technological innovations developed by INVIBES position the Group as a genuine challenger to US heavyweights Google and Facebook."

Nicolas Pollet, CEO and co-founder of INVIBES ADVERTISING, said: "We are delighted to have these two new investors among the Group's shareholders. The funds raised will enable us to invest in short?term international growth drivers and, in particular, extend our offer to new countries."
