Ten years have passed since Gigas Hosting — a Spanish company specialising in cloud services, infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and telecommunications solutions for businesses — made its debut on the BME Growth market. Since then, the company has enjoyed a decade marked by technological innovation, international expansion and consolidation of its business model.
On 3 November 2015, Gigas moved to the BME Growth market with the aim of strengthening its growth and financing its international expansion. This allowed Gigas to raise funds to develop its infrastructure further and expand its range of cloud services for businesses.
Over the past ten years, the company has pursued a successful strategy of organic and inorganic growth, incorporating new lines of business and acquiring companies in the fields of telecommunications, cybersecurity, and managed services.
In the words of Mr Víctor Guerrero, CEO of Gigas Hosting:
'In this decade, we have evolved from a cloud provider into an international technology group. BME Growth has been an indispensable catalyst, providing us with visibility and recognition, as well as the resources to support our growth”.
'Becoming a listed company has given us access to a large shareholder base whose commitment to the company is absolute. Together, we have laid the foundations for continued growth and value creation.
Today, ten years later, we are looking to the future with the same ambition with which we started: to continue innovating and supporting companies on their journey towards advanced, secure digitalisation.'
BME Growth Plays a Key Role in This
BME Growth is BME's platform aimed at SMEs with expansion projects and growth potential. It offers a regulated and transparent environment, providing companies with access to capital markets through advisory services.
In Spain, where SMEs represent 99% of businesses and generate over 65% of GDP, BME Growth has become a vital tool for financing innovation, internationalisation and the development of forward-thinking companies.
Over the past decade, Gigas has demonstrated how access to the stock market can drive the growth of technology companies by providing them with financing, visibility and credibility with investors and customers.
