BI Technology A/S
BI Technology A/S Investment ManagersFinance BI-T is an active venture capital investment manager following a hands-on approach and investing primarily in high-growth life science technology companies with global expansion potential. Investment criteria include an experienced management team, an innovative business concept with a competitive edge based on proven distinctive technology, a clearly defined medical need and patient population, and adequate IP protection by a strong patent portfolio. The firm focuses on unlisted, research-based biotechnology companies dedicated to developing profitable pharmaceuticals for the treatment of human diseases. They pay attention to unmet medical needs, potential medical improvements and major markets. They favor companies with advanced R&D supporting a market launch in the foreseeable future. They invest primarily in Europe, particularly in Denmark and the Nordic countries, and occasionally in the US where they co-invest with third parties. BI-T also invests in the energy technology field, focusing on renewable energy, energy storage, conversion and distribution as well as on improvements to the traditional energy sector. They aim to support the profitable development of sustainable and environmentally-clean alternative energies such as wind, water and solar power as well as clean fuels such as natural gas, hydrogen and biofuels. They invest in Denmark and Europe through direct equity participations in share increases, and target companies with attractive exit potential. They favor startups and early-expansion-stage companies with a credible business model based on proprietary products or services. BI-T provides intensive advisory and consultancy services to their portfolio companies. They follow up their initial investment with additional capital. The firm exits their investments through IPOs and trade sales, and their targeted exit horizon is three to ten years. Finally, the firm is involved in private equity investing in emerging markets in Africa and Asia, particularly in Vietnam, South Africa, East Africa and Egypt. Their investments are often supported by DANIDA-Danish International Development Assistance grants. Investments in Southeast Asia are managed out of a representative office in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. | President | 01/02/2009 |
