Katalysen Ventures’ shares will from today be traded on Nasdaq’s INET Nordic platform which allows practically all banks in the Nordics and the rest of Europe to have the technical opportunity to trade the shares of Katalysen Ventures, which can contribute to increased liquidity in the share. The change of trading platform not only extends the reach to Swedish investors, but it also facilitates for Katalysen to attract even more international investors.
Peter Almberg, CEO at Katalysen Ventures, comments: "Katalysen Ventures offers a unique opportunity to invest in the vibrant Nordic tech venture hub and gain exposure to Katalysen’s carefully curated portfolio of over 25 startups, each with the potential to revolutionize its industry. Our share being traded on the Nasdaq’s system will make it easier for international investors to invest in our share and it will strengthen our abilities to achieve our objective of a 35 per cent annual growth in portfolio value over a full economic cycle. Our attractiveness to investors was also manifested by our successful capital raise just recently announced."

Deutsche Bahn and Sodexo among clients and partners
Katalysen specializes in supporting Nordic early-stage software startups that operate with B2B models. The success stories in Katalysen’s portfolio include InvitePeople’s rapid expansion into Germany’s event platform market with top clients such as Deutsche Bahn, iReality gearing up for the launch of its new drone-based tracking system for South American horse racing, and Meal Makers which is collecting massive strategic partners such as Sodexo in the fight against food waste.
Katalysen's structural advantage enables it to efficiently leverage unique investment opportunities presented by current market conditions. This includes "special situation investments" that demand setting up a specialised team and a combination of direct involvement and flexibility to realize their value. The recent QuTEM transaction, conducted via VentureTargeter, highlights Katalysen's ability to pursue these unique opportunities.
