Strategic merger: Agelec joins the Videlio group
The growing challenges of supervision, decision-making efficiency, and security for institutions and businesses have led Videlio, a major player in audiovisual and IT integration, to take a step forward in the development of a new strategic activity: control systems. This turning point is now taking place through a major merger with Agelec, the French leader in supervision and control solutions for sensitive infrastructure. This marks a defining moment for the Videlio group, confirming its ambition to offer a wider range of solutions that are among the most innovative on the market. The Group's goal is to stay as close as possible to its customers' operational needs and uses by offering them solutions that are easy to use, secure, and effective. Industrial synergy between two leading players AGELEC stands out today as the specialist in supervision, control, and visualization solutions dedicated to critical environments, meeting the constant demand for availability and security of sensitive infrastructure. Its control or supervision rooms, security stations, crisis rooms, and command or surveillance centers demonstrate Agelec's recognized experience in meeting these very high standards. This expertise has attracted leading clients. Videlio and Agelec will work together to strengthen this expertise by combining their operational and commercial resources to give new scope to this activity within the Group. Their ambition is to develop a model capable of combining the best technologies in open architectures that guarantee both security and interoperability. This project will focus in particular on the development of advanced collaborative incident management solutions, agile and robust architectures with AVoIP, and intelligent video walls. Videlio and Agelec will also work together on today's major challenges, with innovative offerings in AI, cybersecurity, augmented reality, and more. Xavier Renaud, President of Videlio: 'Agelec is a leader in control rooms, particularly through its mastery of the technological and operational complexities of this type of installation. We are very pleased with this merger, which strengthens Videlio's position as the French leader in specialized high value-added audiovisual integration, while expanding our scope of activity in a market in which we strongly believe. We enthusiastically welcome the Agelec teams and their leader Guillaume Guérin, who has built a solid, innovative company that is virtually indispensable in its ecosystem." Guillaume Guérin, President of Agelec: 'The energy and human values that drive Videlio were decisive factors in our choice. We share the same vision of audiovisual integration, which brings high standards and value creation for the end customer. Our common conviction is to place usability, ergonomics, and business intelligence above technology. Joining Videlio is obviously an opportunity to take a step forward, but above all, it is an opportunity to amplify our innovation momentum in intelligent and open systems, to better support our customers as they face the constant evolution of their critical challenges."

Netflix and Brazilian Tourism Board Embratur Announce Cooperation Agreement to Boost Film-TV Tourism in Brazil
RIO DE JANEIRO – Netflix and Embratur, the Brazilian Tourism Board, announced Friday a cooperation agreement aimed at boosting tourism through Brazilian audiovisual productions, establishing a model which could be used in other countries. Embratur President Marcelo Freixo and Netflix Director of Public Policy for Brazil Mariana Polidorio announced the deal during a panel at Rio2C, Latin America's largest creativity event that is running over May 27 to June 1 in Rio. The panel also counted on Fernanda Souza, host of Netflix hit reality show 'Stranded With My Mother-In-Law.'

Inspired by the success of some of Netflix's biggest plays in countries such as France and Spain, the initiative takes in a promotional video which plays on the tourist potential of settings from productions that have captivated global audiences – such as 'Invisible City,' lensed in the Amazon rainforest, or 'Love Is Blind Brazil,' with seasons shot at destinations such as Trancoso, Bahia, and Bom Jardim da Serra, Santa Catarina, nd 'Sintonia,' highlighting the urban landscapes of São Paulo's outskirts. 'Audiovisual content is a powerful tool and a key asset for tourism promotion. Many people choose their travel destinations based on a movie or series they've watched. Brazilian content and talent are globally recognized for their quality, they carry our cultural identity, and they continue to win hearts all over the world. This partnership is a way to turn the strength of Brazilian stories into real-life connections,' said Freixo said. The partnership also includes the launch of a travel guide featuring itineraries and tourist experiences inspired by top-performing Netflix titles with strong local and global engagement – titles that reflect the main cultural assets Embratur aims to promote. The guide will be released later this year and will highlight the natural and cultural resources promoted by Embratur. 'We are committed to Brazil in the long term. We know that the stories we tell help project the country to the world and have a direct impact on the local economy, Brazilian culture, and tourism — both for domestic and international audiences,' said Polidorio.
