Description:
EXETECH is the result of an intuition by Fabiano Alfredo Zamuner, the CEO and founder of the Company, who, in 2012, in a period in which almost no one was still talking about "wearable technologies", perceived that the time had come to introduce "new concepts" in the sector of mobile connectivity. After some months spent in studying the market of ICT and the related trends, Fabiano Zamuner decided to finance the preliminary studies for creating a “stand-alone” Smart Watch powered by the Android Operating System. After defining the feasibility of the project, Exetech was set-up (April 2012), and the staff that would have taken part into this highly demanding project was acquired. The project has been financed in part (90%) with proper funds, in part (10%) with a crowdfunding campaign launched in September 2013 on the Italian platform "EPPELA": over 20.000 Euros were collected! The XS-3, after almost 2 years of development, was eventually completed in september 2013. In October 2013 the XS-3 has been presented, with great success, at the SMAU exhibition in Milan (ITALY). Then, in November 2013, it was the time for the WEB-SUMMIT in Dublin, where EXETECH was selected among the most innovative star-ups worldwide.
The XS-3 is on the market since December 2013. The first batch has been delivered in just one week!
Exetech is now approaching the phase of consolidation and market growth. From the technological point of view, the engineers are continuosly working to improve the products and its features. New models will be launched very soon. And also through the partnerships Exetech is involved in bringing the wearable experience toward a further step. The XS-4, the new model that will come out in 2014, has already been announced and currently it is in crowdfunding stage.
