It is more like a network to share discount tickets.

During our last capital increase period,it has been possible to
subscribe to it by paying part of the share premiumusing ŠCECs.

independent researchers.
According to their features,WOW will fund the projects that, after our analysis, seem
ready to increasethe value of their company within two years
by our investment.

Foundation
WOW SpA voted to establish a non-profit foundationto support AWE at a European level: only by aggregating many companies
in an organization of this kind we couldsuccessfully discuss our needs
with the European Union legislator.

Foundation
A single AWE company is not large enoughto contribute to the writing of a general
law or funding by the UE legislator.
All the European companies can join the Foundation.
