Invited by the University of Antsiranana to speak at a conference organized on Monday February 13, 2023 at the Hôtel de la Poste, Ylias Akbaraly – Chairman of Redland (holding of the Sipromad Group, Thomson Broadcast and GatesAir) – shared the keys of the success of the Sipromad Group to nearly seven hundred (700) students and young entrepreneurs from the University of Antsiranana.

With a first part moderated by Toky Rajaona from Masterlife on the theme of « Dare to think big », Ylias Akbaraly was able to hold the attention of the students who testified to a considerable positive impact on the idea they have of life entrepreneurship and its implications.

This conference – which was a great success – went viral on social media where all the young students published excerpts from the conference and selfies with Mr. Ylias Akbaraly.

« This is the first time that a big businessman has come to visit us in Diego and is interested in us. Ylias Akbaraly is a man of great inspiration and with a big heart. We are proud to have met him. » Sylvia, student at the University of Antsiranana.

« We arrived at 7:30 a.m. to make sure we could attend the conference. His advice inspired me a lot. I didn’t think he would have given us much time at the end of the conference and he listened to us. He gave time to each student who approached him. He is a man of great generosity. » Tafita, student from the University of Antsiranana.
