MICT Inc. recently announced the change of its name and ticker symbol to Tingo Group Inc. (NASDAQ: TIO), effective Feb. 27, 2023. In conjunction with the name and ticker change, the company launched a new Investor Relations website at www.TingoGroup.com, which will be complemented by a corporate website in the near future. “The Tingo brand is extremely important to the business, not only as Africa’s leading agri-fintech solution, but also as a Pan-Africa fintech partner to Visa, through TingoPay, and in connection with the recently launched businesses of Tingo Foods and the Tingo DMCC commodities platform and export business,” said the company’s CEO Darren Mercer. “The company’s change of name reflects this and also provides improved clarity to our external stakeholders, including current and prospective partners, customers and investors. The company is in the process of pivoting its insurance and financial services businesses to compliment the Tingo brand and leverage Tingo’s fast growing customer base through the addition of new products with significant new income streams. Taking this into account, together with the expected considerable growth in consolidated group revenues and profitability in 2023 and beyond, we believe it is important to unify the company through a single corporate identity reflected through a single global brand.”
