By increasing its financial firepower, Legend Internet aims to enhance service delivery, scale operations, and attract new customers in a competitive digital economy. The company has emphasized that the capital raise will be deployed with a disciplined approach, prioritizing investments with clear near-term returns and long-term strategic value.
Strategic Acquisitions on the Horizon
Beyond infrastructure and product development, the AGM focused on acquisition plans as a core pillar of the growth strategy.
