AGOURA, CA -- September 23, 2015 --InvestorsHub NewsWire -- GD Entertainment & Technology, Inc. (OTC Markets: GDET), today announced that it has signed a definitive Joint Venture Agreement with WOWIO, Inc. (OTC Markets: WWIO) to join forces for the mutual development and exploitation of the WOWIO eBook platform in Korea and other Asian markets.

We plan on introducing the WOWIO comic/graphic novel library to the Korean market as a way to supplement their English learning in a way thats fun and engaging.

This joint venture with GDET, the first in a series of transactions we hope to accomplish in our new business plan, provides us with a very specific pathway to complete our technology platform, generate revenues and improve our balance sheet through the acquisition of GDET stock, said Robert Estareja, WOWIOs CEO, We are very pleased with the GDET team and vision, and look forward to deepening our relationship with them.

This joint venture also allows for the global cross-licensing of each others content and technology, and paves the way for the potential of an even broader relationship.
