Sofialys Managing Director, Emmanuel Allix, said "Sofialys has very strong ambition in the region to develop a strategic crossroad for our International development. Leveraging on our partnerships with MediaCorp, Sofialys will ideally position ourselves in a clear leadership role, which will be critical to our next move into South East Asian markets such as Indonesia or Vietnam."
