About GOWEX (GOW-MAB, ALGOW-NYSE Alternext, LGWXY-OTC Market)
GOWEX has operated in the telecommunications sector for 14 years. It is currently leading the creation of "Wi-Fi Smart Cities," which offers free and premium Wi-Fi connectivity on the street and in means of public transportation. The company is now exporting its innovative business models to more than 75 cities in the world, thanks to different agreements with Public Administrations, Franchise stores, Associations and Transport companies.
In all its WiFi cities, GOWEX works to create Wireless Smart Cities ® (WiFi Smart Cities) that could offer free wireless Internet to all the citizens and that could improve the services given through wireless connectivity: online meter reading, traffic light control, public transport fleet management, video surveillance and so on.
In 2010, GOWEX became the first and only Spanish SMB to make a "dual listing," publicly traded in MAB (GOW) and NYSE-Alternext (ALGOW). The company's total revenue amounted to €114, 1 million in 2012. On December 2012, GOWEX subscribed a €18 million capital, adding 1,528,404 new common shares to the market. In February, 2012, the SEC approved the emission of ADR's program (American Depositary Receipt) allowing to the Group to be quoted equally in the USA on the market OTCQX.
With offices in Madrid, Paris, Dubai, London, Buenos Aires, Shanghai and Costa Rica, GOWEX develops a sustainable business model in its Wi-Fi networks, based on the efficient and technical quality of their patented platforms: the Roaming Platform, which allows users to connect freely in all the cities, and the Geolocation Content and Advertisement Platform, which provides financing business through marketing and advertisement agreements.
In 2011, GOWEX joined the “Wireless Broadband Alliance” and received a prize for the “Best Web Company” on Internet.

Invertia interview
Jenaro García (GOWEX CEO)
These were some of the responses:
"We are in an environment to
see what opportunities may
have and those that interest
us can be buying
opportunities"
“Si ahora mismo tuviéramos que
cuantificar cuánto dinero te has
ahorrado en publicidad gracias a
que estás cotizando, podríamos
estar hablando de varios
millones de euros”
"Our goal is to reach three
hundred cities in less than
five years and believe it is a
plan that we are doing"
"We have projects in China
and USA and America"
"For me, this is something
that goes far beyond"
"When we were not listed,
we presented a project in the
U.S. and did not even reply to
the calls"
“"Whoever entered a year or two ago, I was betting on a future idea for a
project that was beginning to show its teeth, like a child. Instead, now
entering, is betting for a college student "
