프로비던스 로드아일랜드--(뉴스와이어)--Foresight Science & Technology Incorporated announced that it has signed a franchise agreement with NEOS, Inc. of Santiago, Chile to bring Foresight products and services to the South American market. “Brazil is only the first of the South American countries to make the leap into the high tech global economy,” said Foresight CEO Phyl Speser, J.D., Ph.D. “Together with our franchises in Canada (Vista) and the European Union (O2), the opening of operations in South America through NEOS is another demonstration of Foresight and our partners' capabilities to play a major role in global trade in technology and intellectual property.”

NEOS Founder Allan Jarry stated: “By becoming a Foresight franchise we can offer universities, companies, and governments in South America access to a global network of experts and contacts that synergistically complement our own capabilities for acquiring and licensing technology on the one hand and for conducting major economic development initiatives on the other. We all are linked by state of the art telecommunications technology and collaborative workgroup tools that mean timely, cost-efficient, and effective delivery of services that no other company in South American can provide. Foresight and its franchises offer market research, deal-making, IP management, and other services related to the global trade in technology. Being a part of this dynamic team will positively improve our service portfolio while providing us the necessary tools for increasing the economic competitiveness of the region.”
