Victory Square Establishes Venture for Innovation in Personalized Health
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — (Marketwired — Jul 25, 2017) — In a bold move designed to enter a new era of innovation in the rapidly emerging field of personalized health, Victory Square Technologies Inc. (“Victory Square” or the “Company”) (CSE:VST)(CSE:VST.CN)(CNSX:VST)(OTC:VSQTF)(FRANKFURT:6F6)(WKN:A2AKL8) has created a new venture, Victory Square Health Inc. (“Victory Square Health”).
Victory Square Health will serve as the venture arm dedicated to companies focused on the development of solutions in personalized health technologies.

“Capital, business development, clinical evaluations, medical experts, research, regulatory support and commercialization advisory are all elements critical to success in the health sector, but sometimes they’re challenging for companies to access in a timely fashion, especially in the fast-moving space of technology,” said Shafin Diamond Tejani, President and Chief Executive Officer of the parent company, Victory Square. “There will be no such barriers to innovation at Victory Square Health and among our partner health technology companies in the weeks, months and years to come.”
