- Wowio Inc (WWIO) operates as a holding company focused on real estate development and property investments in the United States. The company engages in the development of residential and commercial properties; hospitality and restaurant management consulting services; and strategic investments in tourism, entertainment, and homebuilding ventures, including projects in Northern California and Arizona. It previously provided digital media solutions, such as ad-supported eBooks and eComics distribution platforms utilizing a patented ad-insertion technology, alongside content creation and monetization across traditional, social, and emerging media channels.
