MAURITIUS, Africa and NEW YORK, Jan. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- African Information Solutions for Companies Online BVI Limited ("African Is Cool") is pleased to announce the African IR App, a smartphone application that allows African stock exchange traded companies to optimize their investor relations ("IR") content for iPhone, iPad and Android mobile devices. The African IR App is powered by theIRapp(TM), the leading investor relations app platform engine.
Graham Young, said on behalf of African Is Cool, "Our initial target markets are Zimbabwe and Zambia, markets that have both compelling and interesting potential. In Zimbabwe we will be working with Big Law Management Consultants Pvt Ltd ("BLMC") a firm dedicated to online investor relations for Zimbabwe Stock Exchange listed equities.
Rob Stangroom, Big Law's CEO said, "Between 8 - 10% of our investor relations website traffic is from Smartphones. Not only does our relationship with theIRapp(TM) promote investment into Zimbabwe, it also enables our ZSE listed company clients to enjoy a closer relationship with top investors and customers to enhance brand and corporate reputation. Moving to mobile is the next logical step in investor relations."
Mark Tunmer, CEO of Imara Holdings Limited, a pan African investment banking and securities trading group, welcomed the initiative, "Zimbabwe and Zambia are interesting emerging market opportunities and the ability of Zimbabwean listed companies to communicate directly and effectively on the World's fastest growing medium should maximise their investor visibility with global and local investment markets. This initiative is good for our markets."
Jeff Corbin, co-founder of theIRapp said, "Our goal at theIRapp is to facilitate the transmission of public company information for companies trading on any global stock exchange to investors throughout the world. The mobile device is the likely conduit for this exchange of information. Through our partnership with African Is Cool, investors will now be able to access information on some of Africa's most interesting and emerging companies."
