Ipsos announced that it has reached an agreement to join forces with the Bolivian expert in Market research and Public Opinion, CIESMORI. As part of the agreement, Ipsos will transfer its assets to CIESMORI, in which it will participate with a 20% minority share. Both entities will operate under a common company called Ipsos CIESMORI.
Ipsos CIESMORI will achieve a leadership position in Bolivia by bringing together Ipsos' worldwide leadership
and expertise and CIESMORI's authoritative position in Bolivia and strong client base. The company will focus
on better serving clients with a stronger set of capabilities and an expanded portfolio of solutions. Ipsos has been providing research solutions in Bolivia since 2007 with the acquisition of Apoyo. CIESMORI was created in 2017 with the association of the most prominent market research and public opinion companies, CIES Internacional and Equipos MORI, who had both been operating in Bolivia for over 25 years.
