In recent years, SACO has applied its extensive research and development (R&D) expertise to evolve from a custom technology R&D entity into a prominent digital media company. Through significant investments in cutting-edge technology and services for lighting and video solutions, SACO rapidly introduced innovative concepts and technologies based on its scalable and replicable core technology, executing iconic projects worldwide, including breaking the world record for largest light and sound show on the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and world's the largest LED screen, the MSG Sphere in Las Vegas.
The company houses a dedicated front-end architectural design and engineering team focused on innovative parametric toolsets. This allows SACO to engage in projects during early stages, influencing the design and integration of digital media solutions and fostering creative collaboration with clients. SACO has emerged as a valuable resource for artists, designers and architects, who often see their pre-design drawings seamlessly integrated into architectural project plans and proposals.
“Fred's visionary leadership propels SACO's growth by emphasizing their unique capacity for end-to-end solutions in Canada and globally, fostering a strong company culture, inclusive teamwork and a shared path to success,” says Daniel Baer, EY Entrepreneur Of The Year Québec Program Co-Director. “We're thrilled to celebrate SACO and the outstanding winners from various industries, who are all excelling in human-centric business approaches and delivering enduring value to stakeholders. We couldn't be prouder to welcome them into our growing entrepreneurship network.”
