Published

The 20 MSP closes three new MSP acquisitions, deepens national footprint.

PLANO, Texas, March 1, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Leading managed IT services provider, The 20 MSP, today announced its completion of three MSP acquisitions, the latest round of deals in an ongoing M&A growth plan aimed at consolidating the company’s national footprint and enhancing its service offerings.

“We’ve successfully completed 30 acquisitions, and with each one, the process becomes increasingly streamlined,” said Tim Conkle, CEO and Founder of The 20 MSP. “A lot of the attrition and friction that comes with traditional M&A deals is either minimized or altogether eliminated by our approach.”

The three managed service providers (MSPs) joining The 20 are Drivetech (Massachusetts), Accurate Computer Solutions (Texas), and Blue Cactus Consulting (Arizona).

As with The 20 MSP’s previous twenty-seven acquisitions, these three MSPs all achieved steady year-over-year growth as members of The 20 MSP Group. The group boasts 150+ MSP members, independent MSPs who leverage shared processes and resources, as well as economies of scale, to get ahead in the competitive managed IT services space and compete at parity with much larger companies.

The addition of Drivetech, Accurate Computer Solutions, and Blue Cactus Consulting represents another decisive step forward in The 20 MSP’s ambitious growth plans, expanding its client base and deepening expertise across several key areas.

The 20 MSP’s founder and CEO, Tim Conkle, commented on the significance of these latest deals.

“With these deals closed, we now have thirty acquisitions under our belt,” Conkle said. “We’ve really hit our stride in terms of making these integrations seamless and minimally disruptive to end clients. As we get bigger and better, our collective knowledge base only gets stronger, so there’s more and more wisdom to draw on as far as making all the pieces fit,” added Conkle.

The 20 MSP’s unique M&A approach has garnered plenty of industry attention, and as Conkle shared, blazing a trail is standard procedure for him and his team.

“When I started The 20 MSP Group, I knew we were exploring new territory,” Conkle explained. “Now, we’re embracing the opportunity to once again break ground with our distinctive M&A process.”

This distinctive process is marked by a commitment to acquiring MSPs that belong to The 20 MSP Group exclusively. As Conkle explained, this strategy capitalizes on the deep relationships The 20 MSP builds with acquisition targets during their time as members. “A lot of the attrition and friction that comes with traditional M&A deals is either minimized or altogether eliminated by our approach,” Conkle said. “So while the pace of our expansion has been rapid, it hasn’t felt rushed, since these integrations solidify partnerships that have been in the works, maturing organically within The 20 MSP Group.”

The 20 MSP has a full pipeline of acquisition candidates and more deals planned for the coming months.

Pinecrest Capital Partners served as the exclusive financial advisor to The 20 MSP on the acquisitions. Texas-based Sunflower Bank, acting as sole lead arranger in a syndicated credit facility for The 20 MSP, provided the funding tranche.

By

NANNING, China, April 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This is a report from china-asean-media.com.

The 14-day “2026 Vietnam-China Cross-Border Tourism AI Empowerment Cooperation and Exchange Program” successfully concluded on April 19 in Nanning, Guangxi. Co-hosted by the Department of Culture and Tourism of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (China) and the Departments of Culture, Sports, and Tourism of Quang Ninh, Lang Son, Cao Bang, and Tuyen Quang provinces (Vietnam), the event brought together nearly 30 tourism officials and industry representatives from the four Vietnamese localities.

With the theme “Vietnam-China AI + Cross-Border Tourism Exchange and Cooperation,” the program combined expert lectures, case studies on AI applications, and field visits. Participants gained insights into ASEAN-China tourism policies, AI-driven cross-border cooperation models, and smart tourism technologies. Hands-on training enabled them to use AI tools for decision-making, product development, and destination branding.

The delegation conducted field studies in Nanning, Liuzhou, Guilin, and Hechi. They visited the China-ASEAN AI Innovation and Cooperation Center, the “Easy Visit Guangxi” platform, the No. Wang Cultural Industrial Park, and the BAO JUN base, experiencing Guangxi’s smart, industrial, landscape, and wellness tourism offerings.

A meaningful part of the program was retracing President Ho Chi Minh’s revolutionary footsteps in Guangxi, including visits to the former site of Yucai School in Nanning, the former residence of Ho Chi Minh in Liuzhou, and the “September 2” School site in Guilin. On April 17, all participants attended the launch ceremony of the 2026 Vietnam-China Border People’s Carnival in Nanning, witnessing the deep friendship and mutual support between the border communities of both nations.

At the closing ceremony on April 18, a cross-border tourism product design competition was held. The team from Quang Ninh won the Best Design Award, while teams from Lang Son, Cao Bang, and Tuyen Quang received Excellence Awards. Mr. Lưu Bá Mạc, Vice Director of Lang Son’s Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, praised the program for fostering practical cooperation and opening new directions for the “comrades and brothers” friendship between local authorities.

The program not only provided Vietnamese tourism professionals with valuable knowledge in AI and smart tourism but also laid a solid foundation for future cooperation in building shared tourism information platforms, developing smart products, and enhancing data connectivity. Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to advancing high-quality development of the cultural and tourism industry through AI, contributing to the strategic Vietnam-China community with a shared future.

By

LAHORE, Pakistan, April 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TCL Solar made a strong impact at this year’s Solar Pakistan exhibition (17th-19th April, at Expo Centre Lahore) by unveiling a range of advanced solar solutions designed to meet the growing demand for low-carbon energy in South Asia and the Middle East.

The new T5 Pro solar module represents a major leap in N-type TOPCon technology, delivering breakthroughs in both conversion efficiency and power output. It is designed to be the new flagship product in the industry, offering enhanced performance and long-term value.

Key Highlights of the T5 Pro:

A unique product design: The T5 Pro specificity remains in its design architecture, with an overlapping tri-cut cell construction. This innovative structure significantly boosts the module’s performance, ensuring superior output and higher energy yield.

Product Reliability: The T5 Pro’s low-current technology ensures precise temperature control, with hotspot temperatures up to 45°C lower than conventional modules. This reduces the risk of fire hazards and improves overall module longevity. The module has also passed rigorous reliability tests, making it ideal for diverse applications, including commercial rooftops and ground-mounted power stations.

Customer Value: By enhancing energy generation and reducing project lifecycle costs, the T5 Pro provides a high return on investment for both residential and commercial solar applications.

TCL Solar’s Lightweight Module: Optimized for C&I Rooftops

TCL Solar’s Lightweight Module addresses the specific challenges faced by commercial and industrial (C&I) rooftops, particularly in areas with limited load-bearing capacity.

Improved Power Output: Weighing only 5.4 kg/m², these modules generate 3-6% more power compared to traditional TOPCon modules, offering a highly efficient solution for weight-sensitive environments.

Superior Heat Dissipation: The ultra-thin glass design enhances heat dissipation, lowers operating temperatures and reduces overall weight and making the modules ideal for aging rooftops or structures with limited structural integrity.

Building on the momentum at Solar Pakistan 2026, TCL SOLAR and TAIMOOR TRADING CO. have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), marking a key step in advancing solar energy solutions. This partnership aims to expand clean power access and drive sustainable development across Pakistan and beyond, with a shared focus on innovation and a low-carbon future.

Focusing on innovation, efficiency, and reduced environmental impact, TCL Solar continues to lead the way in solar technology in Pakistan and across the region, providing solutions that meet today’s energy needs while enabling measurable emissions reductions across the energy value chain.

As Pakistan embraces renewable energy, TCL Solar’s cutting-edge technologies will help drive the growth of low-carbon energy in South Asia and the Middle East.
