Investor communication at virtual annual general meetings

Munich, February 27, 2024 – Virtual annual general meetings are now an integral part of modern investor communications. To enable companies to remain quorate in virtual form, Techcast offers the innovative and legally compliant livestreaming solution Techcast Event Cloud.

Techcast is a professional, ISO 27001-certified service provider specializing in the technical implementation of virtual general meetings. Techcast's GDPR-compliant software for real-time video communication offers three key components for successful virtual general meetings: low-latency streaming, real-time video connections, and accessibility. All services can be seamlessly integrated into the AGM portals without additional application changes.

Low-latency livestreaming offers virtually delay-free video transmission and unparalleled interactivity in real time. Pauses in transmission due to technical restrictions are now a thing of the past. By reducing latency to a minimum, viewers are guaranteed not to miss a moment of the annual general meeting. This technology ensures that shareholders can experience the event in real time and participate interactively without experiencing any time delays.

"Techcast enables companies to stream virtual general meetings and other events without any noticeable time delay," explains Matthias Lysk, Product Owner at Techcast.

A key innovation of Techcast is the "real-time video connection" feature, which enables live audio and video contributions from shareholders and ensures dynamic interaction at virtual general meetings. This allows shareholders to connect directly to the livestream of the general meeting and ask ad hoc questions, which can then be answered immediately by the board of directors.

Techcast is setting new standards for virtual general meetings in terms of accessibility. The integration of sign language and multilingual AI subtitles promotes accessibility and inclusion, enabling broad participation regardless of the physical or sensory limitations of the online audience.

"Accessibility at virtual annual general meetings is not costly and represents a decisive step toward promoting ESG approaches," emphasizes Rosie Schuster, Managing Director of Techcast.

With these advanced technologies and solutions, Techcast not only contributes to improving the accessibility and transparency of annual general meetings, but also makes a significant contribution to the digitalization and modernization of corporate governance.
