With these acquisitions, VE Capital expects its revenue to increase by US$11 million.
Founded in 2014, Web Imp guides businesses in enabling digital transformation through intuitive UX/UI design, reliable web and mobile development, and cost-effective digital marketing campaigns. This acquisition was made in May this year.
