Sector focus follows three themes (cleantech, tech enablement, changing demographics) spanning transportation, food tech, life sciences, photonics, logistics and environmental services. Geographic deployment is Sweden core with some Finland. The platform is backed by a network of entrepreneur and athlete LPs focused on founder-retained operational partnerships.
