Cyberlux Corporation, an advanced technology platform company, announced that it acquired the Colombian company HAVAS Group this Friday. The acquisition would launch Cyberlux renewable infrastructure capability platform in South America.
Firstly, Cyberlux expects that the acquisition in South America prepares the ground to grow its renewable infrastructure business (IT). It will focus on developing technology like solar, wind, and hydroelectric infrastructure projects. The expansion plans also include a jump to Europe by 2022.
On the other hand, HAVAS Group is a renewable energy financing company located in Bogotá, Colombia. It specializes in renewable energy project financing and implementation. After the acquisition, the company will have its headquarters with the Cyberlux South American office located in Bogotá.
Moreover, as part of the acquisition, HAVAS Group will bring the rights to three projects with over 100 hectares of renewable energy property, which Cyberlux will implement through its IT business. Consequently, the addition of HAVAS to Cyberlux indeed expands its renewable infrastructure capability.
Therefore, the company expects to achieve sustainable growth in revenue, profit, and shareholder value; specifically, by implementing the three current projects and the future planned renewable energy projects.
