Overview

Brainspark plc (AIM: BSP) is a company listed on the London stock exchange that aims to create a customer portfolio in various sectors: gaming, entertainment, interactive communication, catering and financial services. The most important investment is Mediapolis SpA, the amusement park located in northern Italy between Milan and Turin. The company can be an investor both active and passive; the investment logic of Brainspark goes from the acquisition of minority positions, with the maintenance of strategic influence, to positions of broader control. In addition to being an established company listed on the English Stock Exchange, Brainspark is particularly active in the social and charity initiatives. Brainsparkcollaborates closely with the NGO "Homes for Hope" ( http://www.homes4hope.com ), a Swiss charity whose Alfredo Villa, managing director of Brainspark , is the founder and manager. Homes for Hope deals with the construction of houses in third world countries for homeless women with dependent children. As soon as possible, Brainspark intends to set up a charity fund for Homes for Hope.
