<\/span>About WordSensing<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h5>\n

WorldSensing<\/a><\/strong>is a Catalan company founded in 2008 that offers Iot software and hardware solutions. The company currently offers two types of products: on the one hand Loadsensing, a solution that allows monitoring large infrastructures in the Civil Engineering, Mining, Oil and Gas sectors at a minimum cost; on the other hand Fastprk, the leading smart parking solution in the market; and Bitcarrier, a product that improves traffic management and urban mobility with real-time monitoring of vehicle and pedestrian traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Worldsensing closed 2016 with a staff of 48 people, and currently has 73, most of them in Barcelona, as well as small commercial offices in London and Los Angeles. The company had a turnover of \u20ac4.7M in 2016 and expects to achieve sales of between \u20ac8M and \u20ac10M in 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before closing this latest round of investment, the company had already received funding amounting to \u20ac7M. Investors that backed the company include Kibo Ventures, Cisco Investments, Mitsui & Co, Endeavor Catalyst and Fundaci\u00f3n Jos\u00e9 Manuel Entrecanales and Finaves. This combination of financial and strategic investors has been decisive for the company to strengthen and grow in Europe and North and South America.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>WorldSensing closes \u20ac8.3M round<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h5>\n

The new \u20ac8.3M investment round was led by McRock Capital, a fund specialising in the internet of things, ETF Partners, a European fund specialising in sustainability, and Cisco Investments, which had already invested in the company in 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n

Los nuevos fondos se destinar\u00e1n a seguir creciendo: en el 2018, \u00abestableceremos bases para el desarrollo de negocio en EE.UU. y en Asia\u00bb, explica el consejero delegado. \u00abEs una apuesta de crecimiento agresivo. Hay oportunidad en el mercado, y nos hemos encontrado un oc\u00e9ano azul, no hay competencia global. En smart cities hay mucho ruido, pero nadie hace digitalizaci\u00f3n completa, desde el hardware hasta la inteligencia\u00bb.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Investments made by the McRock Capital fund<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h5>\n
