Beanfield announced yesterday that they have found a new partner that shares their goal of connecting Canadian communities and businesses by providing a fair, equitable and transparent alternative to Canada’s telecom oligopoly. The new partner, OMERS Infrastructure, manages global infrastructure investments on behalf of its parent company OMERS (Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System), the defined benefit pension plan for municipal employees in Ontario. With over 30 investments located in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific including three digital infrastructure investments in Germany, France and Australia, OMERS Infrastructure manages approximately $34 billion in assets, but this is its first digital infrastructure sector investment in North America.
This new partnership between Beanfield, Digital Bridge (Beanfield majority owners) and OMERS Infrastructure is another big step forward for Beanfield and speaks to the strength and value others see in the work that they do, the plan they have, and the mission they’re on.
