Blasting News, with the University of Palermo, won a project funded by the Sicily Region to address misinformation and tackle fake news.

Blasting News raised approximately Euro 3.0 Millions of equity capital, at different stages of its development.

Continuous funding is assured by a business model based on three pillars: advertising, subscriptions, and technology (provided as a SaaS, software as a service). The turnover of Blasting SA is undisclosed, confidential information.
