CLPS Global Expansion Strategy Attracts Traders’ Attention
In a letter to shareholders, CLPS Inc announced its geographic expansion plan as well as its intention to capture the market share in related industries – such as insurance.
The appointment of its U.S.-based senior executive is a part of the CLPS global expansion plan. The company believes a U.S.-based person can help in expanding its market penetration in the rapidly growing U.S. financial and IT industries.
The company also plans to improve its presence in other global markets. “We expect to open additional training centers overseas to accommodate future demand for our services and solutions overseas,” CLPS Chairman and President Xiao Feng Yang wrote in the letter.
Business Plan for Sustainable Growth
Along with the international expansion, CLPS Inc’s business plan to generate sustainable growth focuses on five key points:
- Revenue Growth
- Continuous Research and Development
- Investment in the Training and Development of Human Capital
- Improved Operational Efficiency
- Strategic Alliances and Acquisitions
