Leandro Iglesias, President & CEO of IQSTEL, commented:

"This partnership represents a major milestone in our strategy to transform IQSTEL into a high-tech, high-margin platform company.

We have already built a strong global telecom business platform, and now we are leveraging that foundation to enter the Digital Health market—one of the fastest-growing sectors globally.

By combining our distribution capabilities with our Digital Health partner's proven technology, experience, and AI-driven solutions, we are creating a powerful opportunity to scale this business globally."

A Transformational Step into Digital Health

The newly signed MOU represents a significant milestone in IQSTEL's strategic evolution, marking its entry into the fast-growing Digital Health market, a multi-billion-dollar global opportunity.

Under the proposed partnership, IQSTEL is expected to leverage its global telecom platform to commercialize digital health services through telecom operators worldwide, positioning the Company as a key distribution channel in this emerging sector.

IQSTEL's Digital Health partner brings:

• Over a decade of experience in digital health innovation
  
  
• A strong track record in scalable healthcare solutions
  
  
• Multiple international recognitions and industry awards

The partner has developed an integrated ecosystem combining:

• IoT-based medical devices and wearables
  
  
• Cloud-based digital health platforms
  
  
• Remote patient monitoring (RPM) systems
  
  
• Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven analytics and predictive healthcare insights

Through AI capabilities, the platform enhances patient monitoring, enables early detection of health risks, and improves healthcare outcomes by transforming large volumes of medical data into actionable insights.

Leveraging IQSTEL's Global Telecom Platform for High-Margin Growth

IQSTEL has built a strong and scalable commercial platform, which already reaches over 600 of the largest telecom operators around the world, with access to approximately 2.3 billion end users through its partners.

This platform enables IQSTEL to:

• Rapidly deploy new services globally
  
  
• Introduce high-tech, high-margin recurring services
  
  
• Scale without the need for additional infrastructure

The Digital Health market is experiencing strong structural growth driven by:

• Aging populations
