The Fortis model
Independent Companies. Shared Strength.
Companies should remain independent while becoming deeply connected.
- A marketing team may help several companies.
- A manufacturer discovered by one business may create opportunities for another.
- A company entering a new country may learn from businesses already operating there.
- A talented young entrepreneur may meet an experienced founder.
- A technology developed for one industry may inspire an entirely different company.
Fortis creates the environment where these connections can happen continuously.
