Human Capital and Resources
During August 2007, the Company closed two equity investments. These investments provide "human capital" services in the human resources sector, a sector which offers excellent growth opportunities throughout the Asia Pacific region. IA Global continues to seek additional companies and partnerships in the staffing, training, employee/ organization evaluation and assessments business throughout the region, but with a focus on Japan. Linking these investments in a network under the IA Global umbrella will generate synergies of expertise and resources, creating a regional value-chain of services to further drive aggressive growth. Our investments in Human Capital and Resources are as follows:
IA Global has a 25% stake in GPlus Media Co Ltd ("GPlus"). GPlus is a Japan based corporation with offices in Tokyo, Japan, Hong Kong and Shanghai, China. GPlus owns and operates several of Japan's best known English-Japanese websites, including GaijinPot.com, and Ecentral.jp, the official jobsite of the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan. GPlus also operates CareerEngine.org, which is a powerful network of jobsites with partners who include ShanghaiExpat.com, the American Chambers of Commerce in Shanghai and Hong Kong, as well as the Canada China Business Council.
IA Global has a 20.25% equity investment in Slate Consulting Co Ltd ("Slate"). Slate is a Japan headquartered Executive Search firm with operations and business entities in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Surrey, Canada; a call center in Manila, Philippines; and an early stage call center in Bucharest, Romania.
