2022年8月23日 - 10:00PM
Geekco Technologies Corporation (the
“
Company” or “
Geekco”)
(TSX-V: GKO; OTCQB: GKOTF) is pleased to present a
brand new version of its FlipNpik application that stimulates and
boosts the local economy and that, starting today, greatly improves
the users’ experience and displays job offers from merchants; as
well as to announce its partnership with HEC and Desjardins as part
of a innovative initiative for the start of the 2022 academic year.
“The start of the HEC school year is a unique
opportunity to raise students' awareness of the importance of
supporting the local economy by encouraging local businesses around
the university campus. With the contribution of our partners
Desjardins and the 360d space, as well as the collaboration of
local businesses, we will simultaneously allow HEC students to
discover businesses and new job offers, while allowing them to
access to more than 3,500 unique rewards and exclusive products in
return for their contribution to boosting the visibility of
businesses, which will thus have the opportunity to build their
future customers and even recruit their future employees thanks to
our new feature job postings," says Mr. Mario Beaulieu, Chief
Executive Officer.
"The strong response received to this project
and the results obtained to date from students, merchants and our
strategic partners, including Videotron (with the participation of
its franchisees), Cinemas Guzzo and Eva (the next generation of
mobility) who by offering unique and exclusive rewards, demonstrate
that all players and stakeholders of the local economy have long
been looking for a dynamic and technological solution that will
provide real benefits. To have been able to bring together more
than 1,000 students, many merchants and our main partners within
our ecosystem to interact in a specific neighborhood demonstrates
the power and agility of FlipNpik. Imagine the impact we can have
in every city and every neighborhood in Quebec, Canada and around
the world. This motivates us to continue the technological
development of our application and our marketing strategy in order
to achieve our growth plan,” he adds in conclusion.
The collaboration of our
partners
La Caisse Desjardins des Versants du Mont-Royal
has always been very active in promoting the local economy,
supporting it through various initiatives (e.g., buy local
campaigns with La Ruche: “Du cœur à l’achat”). The collaboration
with FlipNpik thus directly meets our objectives and our values.
With the cooperation of the 360d space located in the heart of the
Université de Montréal campus, la Caisse des Versants is very proud
to contribute to energize and stimulate the local economy, while
getting closer to its members and the youth. Our commitment to
young people is important to us at Desjardins (investment in the
community, financial education, scholarship programs, etc.).
Allowing students and local merchants to interact in the same
ecosystem, thanks to an innovative 100% made in Quebec technology
that creates real economic wealth, this is certainly in line with
our values and our responsibility as a socio-economic leader in
the community,” mentioned Mr. Pierre Poirier, General Manager of
the Caisse Desjardins des Versants du Mont-Royal.
“AEHEC is pleased to be associated with this
initiative with FlipNpik. The start of the school year is a
critical moment in the life of students at the University level.
FlipNpik allows us to make students aware of the importance of the
local economy and will concretely make us discover the businesses
around the campus by giving us access to products and exclusive
offers in addition to having the chance to find nearby jobs. This
collaboration is innovative, dynamic and directly related to the
current concerns of young people, especially for students in
administration. To be able to help stimulate the economy by taking
concrete and responsible actions using the FlipNpik application and
its innovative technologies is, in our opinion, a mobilizing and
attractive formula,” said Vincent Bellefleur, treasurer of the HEC
student committee (AEHEC).
