Here are some announcements that caught our attention these past few weeks and that helped promote the Québec City region’s ingenuity, creativity or determination internationally.
OPTEL
Optel Group offers traceability solutions to ensure the origin, compliance and security of a wide array of products in production chains around the world. The group opened a manufacturing plant in India in 2016 and since then, the company has made major gains in that market, leading to a record year in terms of sales and project deliveries in OPTEL’s 30 years of existence. And of course, the press release relaying the news was picked up by several media outlets around the world.
Here are some examples:
- India: OPTEL Group on Track for Record Year in Asia-Pacific Pharma Sales
- Australia: OPTEL Group on Track for Record Year in Asia-Pacific Pharma Sales
- United Kingdom: OPTEL Group on Track for Record Year in Asia-Pacific Pharma Sales
- United States: OPTEL Group on Track for Record Year in Asia-Pacific Pharma Sales
Tero
Québec City startup Tero is about to make its first product launch: a countertop device designed to quickly transform waste into fertilizer. After the testing phase, the startup has announced that they were about to ship its first units, with stocks selling quickly in both the Canadian and US markets. Tero’s press release has caught the eye of the media in Canada and the United States as well as around the world.
Here are some examples:
- New Zealand: Tero, a green revolution on every countertop - The Canadian company is launching across Canada as production is ramping up
- Germany: Tero, a green revolution on every countertop - The Canadian company is launching across Canada as production is ramping up
- Austria: Tero, a green revolution on every countertop - The Canadian company is launching across Canada as production is ramping up
- English Canada: Tero, a green revolution on every countertop - The Canadian company is launching across Canada as production is ramping up
Chainsawesome Games
Chainsawesome Games has come a long way since it became the first video game studio to win the CATAPULT program in 2014. CATAPULTE allowed the startup to launch its first video game, Knight Squad, and this month the studio has released a sequel. That release did not go unnoticed and was featured in many global media outlets, with rather positive first-hand reviews for the studio’s most recent game.
Some examples of news articles:
- Japan: 最大8人が競う対戦型アクション『Knight Squad 2』配信開始！
- Denmark: Knight Squad 2
- Brazil: Knight Squad 2
- Mexico: Knight Squad 2 ya està disponible
