Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 12, 2019) - Voleo Inc. ("Voleo", the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it was selected to join the 2019 Fostering Innovation Networks in a Digital Era ("FINDER") Program at Radboud University - located in Nijmegen, Netherlands. FINDER is a competitive fintech research program jointly-led by global leader in digital transformation, Atos, and Dr. H.L. Rick Aalbers, an Associate Professor in Strategy and Innovation at the Department of Business Administration of Radboud University. The program, which will highlight strategies of successful teams and enable development of new tools for the benefit of users, will commence in September 2019 and is funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program.

Over the years, Dr. Aalbers has conducted research for a variety of technology and banking companies including PHILIPS, BDO, Siemens, Equens, ING, Deloitte, Atos, ING and ABNAmro. He received several awards for his academic contributions, including the 2012 Massachusetts Institute of Technology SMR Richard Beckhard Memorial Prize.

Thomas Beattie, CEO of Voleo, added, "Dr. Aalbers has extensive knowledge in the field of collaboration, and his team at FINDER are doing important work in researching and uncovering insights about organizational and consumer behaviour. There is a clear synergy between Voleo's objectives as an emerging technology, its users' objectives as part of a community, and FINDER's goal of understanding social interaction in the digital age. We are especially excited to apply learnings from this study and equip our users with new tools in the coming years."

In regard to choosing Voleo for the FINDER program, Dr. Aalbers commented, "When deciding upon the final configuration of consortium partners for the FINDER research scoping, Voleo was top of mind because of their differentiated positioning in the online brokerage industry and their unique approach to social investing. We hope to gain insights on the attitudes and investing behaviour of Voleo's community to understand how digital innovation drives positive decision-making and what contributes to the success of interconnected investors. I look upon Mr. Beattie (CEO) as a true asset to this research initiative. We are much appreciative of the proactiveness as well as the engaged and innovative attitude showcased by Voleo's management team as we drove the FINDER program to where we now stand."
