Innoventure A/S has invested in a portfolio of enterprises within different industries, including pharmaceuticals, materials technology, merchandising, etc.
Innoventure A/S’ investments have been performed in knowledge-based and product innovative enterprises, and the investments performed are based on confidence in management, business concept and the strategy in the individual companies. The company’s typical investment horizon is 3-6 years within the individual enterprises in a rationally functioning market. By the end of 2010, Innoventure A/S has ownership shares in 11 enterprises.
In 2009, the company decided to sell and discontinue the most cash-intensive investments in the portfolio enterprises, and consequently, by the end of 2010 only three active companies remain in the portfolio while the rest are dormant.
