Mediatribu's traditional core business: the rental of audiovisual broadcast equipment
Founded in 1995 by Laurent Issenjou, who was soon joined by Julien Colet in 1996, IVS Technologies succeeded in making a place for itself in the televisual media market through the rental of giant screens for some of TV's most popular programmes. The years 1995-2000 saw sharp growth in the production output of the presenter-producers. A number of prestigious TV shows and programmes were produced including : Le Sidaction, Les Restos du Cœur, Big Brother and Star Academy, etc.

The arrival of Digital Terrestrial Television in France profoundly affected the economic model in the French TV market. Once again displaying its ability to respond quickly, IVS Technologies succeeded in standing out from the competition and adapting to this new demand from the French audiovisual sector, further strengthening its position as a market leader.

The diversification of business activities to include EVENTS and SALES
Since 1995, IVS Technologies has acquired solid know-how enabling it to become the leading supplier of audiovisual and video services in the TV sector. In 2005, TV studios accounted for 70% of the company's turnover. IVS Technologies went on to extend its range of services to encompass new sectors including events and the sale of equipment, setting up two departments, both fully independent in terms of their management and operations: IVS Event and IVS Intégration.

The events sector – IVS Event
IVS Technologies can today draw upon its extensive experience and is widely recognised as a key service provider in the audiovisual sector for the events market. IVS Technologies provides its clients with audiovisual resources for major IVS events :

• Cerrone concert (Live 8)
• The world motor show,
• The Renault Convention
• The air show,
• The World Cup in Germany,
• Fashion shows: Valentino, Louis Vuiton, Kenzo, Fendi, etc.
• The launch of the C4 for Citroen for the Simple agency,
• A major show for Franco Dragone.

The sales sector – IVS Intégration
IVS technologies has opened its sales and integration department to meet specific requirements combining images and technology. Communication requires images, and today combines high-tech broadcasting resources and content. IVS intégration has taken full advantage of this trend to become a partner to leading companies, industries and media groups :

• The Louis Vuitton store on the Champs Elysées,
• The opening of the LVMH headquarters,
• Audiovisual integration at RTL headquarters,
• The Dior stand
• TV news studio stage sets for France TV and TF1, etc.

Ongoing research and development
IVS Technologies is constantly developing its own technology, specially designed for clients in the entertainment market.

• Holographic systems for shows, concerts and product launches, etc.
• Holographic terminals for window displays and sales outlets, etc.

The services proposed by IVS Technologies take full advantage of the synergies and complementary strengths of the various companies comprising the Mediatribu group. In particular, IVS Technologies benefits from the capacity offered by R-Stage when it comes to logistics and the transportation of equipment for the performance industry.

Today employing 45 people, in 2005 IVS Technologies achieved a turnover of €8.2 million.
