Star Navigation Announces Joint Venture Agreement with ProAce Business Solutions Inc.

Brampton, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – August 1, 2024) – Star Navigation Systems Group Ltd. (CSE: SNA) (CSE: SNA.CN) (“Star” or the “Company”) announces the signing of a Joint Venture agreement (the “JV agreement”) with ProAce Business Solutions Inc. (“ProAce”).

Star has agreed to license its ISMS technology to ProAce. The companies will create a new JV corporation which will be formed in India under the name of Star ProAce India Private Ltd. At the initial stage, Star will hold 10% of the new JV company, but will have the opportunity to acquire an additional 18% (upon Star ProAce obtaining required approvals from government bodies in India) for a total equity holding of 28% of the JV company. ProAce will assume all responsibility for expenses incurred to obtain the necessary permissions and contracts to have the Star ISMS technology implemented in India. The JV agreement also contains anti-dilutive clauses to ensure that Star’s equity portion of the JV company is never less than 10%.

With extensive experience in navigating through the complexities of attaining government contracts and projects, ProAce can help Star gain unparalleled access to these projects. They have established channels and connections through previous successful ventures that grant them access to a wide array of government contracts and projects. The key to Star ProAce being successful in gaining these approvals is to have a permanent office set up and to build the Star ISMS units in India under the supervision of Star and with approval of every component to the highest standards. ProAce believes the “Built in India” approach will help with the granting of approvals in India.

Randy Koroll, Chief Executive Officer at Star, states: Star has been looking for a Partner to help open up India to the Star technology for many years now. “We have the utmost confidence that ProAce has the People and commitment to tackle this vast market and help market Stars’ ISMS technology there.”

Gurjot Grewal, CEO & Founder of ProAce, added: “ProAce feels that with its depth of experience and approach that this agreement between Star and ProAce will be successful in the long term and we are excited to partner with Star to market and promote the Star ISMS solution into India as well as expanding into other global markets.”
