Building a Global Digital Distribution Platform

One of IQST's most valuable assets is its massive commercial infrastructure and telecom ecosystem integration. The company now maintains relationships with more than 600 telecom operators globally, supported by deep integrations into billing systems and network operations.

IQST currently operates across 21 countries and 4 continents with strategic commercial offices in Miami, Caracas, Buenos Aires, London, Istanbul and Dubai. Through its telecom partner network, the company estimates potential access to approximately 2.3 billion end users worldwide.

This infrastructure creates a powerful global distribution platform capable of commercializing AI, fintech, cybersecurity, digital health and other advanced digital services at scale.

AI Division Positioned for Major Growth

IQST continues aggressively expanding its artificial intelligence initiatives through proprietary technologies and enterprise deployments.

Earlier this year, the company officially launched IQCortex.ai, a next-generation AI orchestration platform designed to help enterprises automate operational decision-making, risk management and workflow execution across multiple systems.

The platform integrates with widely used enterprise environments including Microsoft Copilot, ServiceNow, Jira Service Management, Slack and additional enterprise infrastructure solutions.

IQST also announced growing adoption of its proprietary AI-powered digital agents by major European companies through its partnership with Alhambra IT in Spain. The AI systems are being deployed to improve customer service operations while integrating directly into telecom infrastructure and enterprise workflows.

Management believes the AI division has the potential to generate seven-figure annual revenue by 2027 as adoption accelerates globally.

Fintech Expansion Driving EBITDA Opportunity

IQST's fintech division is expected to become a significant EBITDA growth contributor moving forward.

The company completed its acquisition of Globetopper in July 2025 and has since accelerated integration efforts throughout its telecom ecosystem. IQST expects Globetopper to contribute meaningful revenue growth while helping improve profitability through scalable fintech solutions distributed directly across the company's telecom customer base.

By leveraging existing relationships with hundreds of telecom operators worldwide, IQST believes it can rapidly scale fintech adoption and create additional recurring high-margin revenue streams.

Positioned for Long-Term Expansion

IQST continues executing on a long-term strategy focused on building a diversified global technology platform capable of reaching $1 billion in annual revenue by 2027 through organic growth, acquisitions and commercialization of high-margin digital services.

With expanding AI capabilities, a growing fintech ecosystem, international telecom infrastructure and a debt-free balance sheet, IQST appears strategically positioned to capitalize on accelerating global demand for next-generation digital transformation solutions.
