Nexio Technologies today announced that Fondaction is investing $2.75 Million in the company. This investment will allow Nexio to intensify the activities of its Center for the development of innovative technological products. Over the past few years, Nexio has acquired several high-potential technologies – and companies –, acting as a ‘”technological accelerator” to make them profitable. These advanced productivity enhancement tools are now recognized and used by large organisations on an international basis.

“Fondaction is proud to contribute to the growth of a Québec enterprise that distinguishes itself in a fast growing industry and provides about one hundred high-level jobs in the Montréal area,” said Régent Watier, Fondaction’s Head of Investment.

“This investment will support our continued growth and profitability”, added Nexio’s president Martial Rivard. “Over the past years, we’ve been growing quite rapidly and we believe these achievements result from our recognized capacity to generate measurable improvements in IT productivity, thanks to our exclusive tools and solid expertise. Fondaction is known for carefully and rigorously screening the companies it invests in and their support is a testimony to our solid business situation.”
