Today is my two-year anniversary as the CEO of Malk Partners and I wanted to share some thoughts. Malk's mission is to steer capital to more responsible investors and companies, and this driving force has been at the heart of everything do, what motivates us when we wake up in the morning, and how we engage with our clients. This mission guides everything we do. I want to say thank you to our clients. We know we need to earn your trust everyday. Thanks to our loyal, long-term clients as well as our newer clients. Our mission can only be achieved partnering with you and supporting you to embed great ESG practices at your firms. We recognize we serve clients with a wide spectrum on ESG strategies, with some including ESG excellence as a founding principle of their firms and some adopting ESG practices for the first time. Regardless of your current state, we appreciate your trust on your journey. I also want to call out the progress we've made as a firm. We are partnered even more closely with our clients to grow our recurring revenue services, especially in Annual Portfolio Company Monitoring and Fund Advisory (annual reporting, policies, training, fundraising support, AGM meeting preparation, etc.). In the past two years, we have diversified our business with a significant increase in recurring revenue services giving us resilience across the private market investing cycles. We have developed an innovative and client-centric ESG data solutions along with our strategic partner, Integrum ESG. The Malk-Integrum ESG data platform takes the 15-year experience of Malk Partners serving private market investors and their portfolio companies and translates that into an AI-based ESG data solution that automates ESG scoring and benchmarks vs. private and public company industry peers. For our clients who have adopted the Malk-Integrum ESG solution, we thank you and will continue to innovate these distinctive capabilities with you. We have accelerated our pace of innovation across-the-board. We will soon release our DD3.0, our next-generation due diligence service, we are rapidly growing our Fund Advisory bundles to strengthen and simplify the service and budgeting process for our clients, and we are scaling our ESG Value Creation services, where we are innovating on how portfolio companies can turn ideas or gaps into value creation over the hold period (e.g., supply chain transparency to grow revenue in developed markets, building DEI programs to enhance employee value propositions and retention, etc.). The past two years has been a period of massive innovation at Malk. Last, but certainly not least, I want to say thank you to the entire Malk team. The innovations we've delivered would not have been possible with your passion, commitment, energy, and collaboration! I love engaging with you everyday and how we hold each other accountable to achieve our mission. Onwards and upwards!!!! #esg #Malkclients #innovation #Malkstars

Q1 2024 was yet another quarter of strong results, as net sales grew by 33.3% to SEK 253.4m and EBITDA by 37.3% to SEK 119.7m compared to last year. The growth is driven by more property sellers choosing to maximise their marketing on Hemnet through investing in Hemnet Premium, as well as 11 % more property listings compared to last year. 2024 has started with a number of welcomed positive signals on the property market with not only more listings on Hemnet, but also more transactions, higher prices as well as increasing price expectations from consumers. We look forward to a spring with hopefully continued, perhaps growing, activity and to continuing helping Swedish property buyers and sellers to increase their chances of a successful home sale https://lnkd.in/dUgkJaCE

Sharing some insightful thoughts from Jonas Tulldahl, Head of Corporate Development at Storskogen. Jonas highlights AI as one of the most promising business opportunities today and details some of the initiatives Storskogen is implementing - such as our AI platform that allow business units to test various AI use-cases with minimal investment required. Reflecting on this, it's evident that we are witnessing a rapid shift towards AI implementation. We are without a doubt in the starting phase of continued massive dispruption and it will be exciting to see what will happen to those who believe that their business is immune to AI disruption (which they likely aren't). The future belongs to the agile, those with a culture of trying, testing, and daring to innovate. ping Patrick Couch

Contrarian Ventures - alongside our friends at EQT Ventures - are today unveiling The Climate Brick, the missing manual for the climate journey.     90% of CO2 emissions are estimated to be abatable by technology over the next 25 years. However, most innovations that shape modern life were built on common frameworks.    Climate doesn’t have one, yet. Today marks a call to change that, with the creation of a new initiative, involving a wide range of stakeholders.    Decarbonisation is the greatest economic transition in a century – the 50 signatories of our open letter have pledged to create The Climate Brick.   The Climate Brick's co-builders include several of Europe’s largest climate technology companies and financial institutions, as well as leading academic experts and policymakers.    The manual comprises seven playbooks, or bricks as we call them: from gigascaling to product disruption. We’re only getting started, and The Climate Brick is an open community being co-built by members together. Are you also on a mission to tackle the climate crisis with technology? Join us – become a co-builder.   Read our open letter via the link in the comments below, and sign up today!

Kärnfull Next (KNXT) today announces a new candidate site for a small modular #nuclear reactor (SMR) campus in Valdemarsvik. The large coastal site in Östergötland is part of the company's Re:Firm South #SMR program, aiming to provide clean firm power to southern Sweden in the 2030s. KNXT has signed an exclusive partnership agreement with Latona Group for the exploration rights for nuclear power on the Valdemarsvik Målma 4:9 (2) property. The ongoing study, expected to be finalized after the summer, has shown promising preliminary results and includes areas identified as suitable for #NuclearEnergy as far back as in the 1970s, including in Centrala Driftledningen’s report "Location of Large Coastal Power Plants" from 1972. With over 1300 hectares in total, the site is also appealing for co-location with 2030s energy-intensive industries, such as #AI data centers. John Ahlberg Christian Sjölander Climentum Capital

Tesi and the Nordic national FOFs are taking the lead on climate tech financing by showing the market facts about the Nordic climate ecosystem at a time where the climate challenge should absolutely be the priority agenda of institutions and stakeholders and every European, in particular before the upcoming 🇪🇺 European elections. 🚀 🚀 🚀 Climate investment is a source of job and wealth creation, economic growth and technology progress with deep tech breakthrough innovation! 🍀 From the study: Nordic cleantech growth companies will need EUR 15 billion in venture capital funding over the next five years to maintain previous growth rates. There’s currently approx. €6bn cleantech-dedicated dry powder aimed at the Nordics – not nearly enough to cover the demand! Huge opportunity! 💚 The pension and insurance companies as well as family offices, particularly in the Nordics, are already to a degree involved in investing in VC and growth funds in the region, and backing startups, collaborating with tax-payer funded schemes and institutions. They are showing the way to many other parts of Europe! This involvement could still significantly increase ↗ LPs are concerned about delivering both financial performance to their stakeholders as well as ⭐ positive impact ⭐. Its hard to imagine a more positively impactful investment than backing deep tech climate players today! 💚 Together with Founders Forum Group, European Women in VC is looking into the positive impact of such investments! We can't wait to share results in early June! And positive news of the day: congrats to Norrsken VC 👏 for raising the biggest Impact Fund in Europe - a real alignment of capital and purpose! Niklas Tove Agate David 👏 great work Jakob Sandell and the extended Team! cc Pia Matias Kasia Marco Carolyn Francesca Rachael Walter Lars Ingvild Lars Magnus Patrick Rannveig Ola Johan Diva Fredrik Pia https://lnkd.in/dunJaUka

Excited to see the robust IPO market in Sweden gaining attention! As early-stage investors, it's crucial to have avenues for successful IPOs for the companies we support. This not only reflects positively on our investments but also fuels further growth and innovation in the market. A recent FT article shed light on this thriving IPO scene, highlighting insights from industry experts like my friend Tony Elofsson. Link to article in comment below. It's encouraging to witness Sweden's emergence as a hotspot for IPOs, offering promising opportunities for both investors and entrepreneurs alike. #IPO #Investing #StartupEcosystem #SwedenTech #Entrepreneurship Nasdaq Adam Kostyal

Another milestone in flexible electricity distribution grids⚡️ Together with our partners, we are introducing one of Europe’s first dynamic grid pricing schemes for LV grids. Our tech stack identifies local grid bottlenecks in real time and creates a corresponding local grid pricing signal that, in turn, is used to automatically steer the flexible loads in the grid (like e.g. EVs or heat pumps). This is the beginning of a new world in which Customers can minimize BOTH their Energy AND Grid costs within a given comfort level (e.g. “keep my house between 21 and 22 degrees with the minimum energy+grid costs” or “do the night-charging of my EV with the minimum energy+grid cost, as long as my car car is fully charged by 06.30 AM”). What is the difference between “dynamic tariffs” and “time of use tariffs”?. This is a question that I get very often. As the energy transition is turning LV feeders into full blown power systems (with their own production, consumption and storage, with complex bidirectional power flows, and with congestion and voltage events continuously changing over time and over space), time of use tariffs are becoming obsolete and at times even counterproductive. For example a time of use tariff that has a lower grid price from 23.00h to 06.00h, often creates huge “EVpeaks” at exactly 23.00h, instead of sequentally synchronizing the charging of the EVs in the feeder from 23.00 to 06.00h for minimum peak. In LV, a street can have overvoltage and overproduction issues (due to too much solar PV from the sports arena in the street), and the next street, at the same time, can have exactly the opposite problem (due to a public parking in the street that has now installed EV chargers), how can a time of use tariff solve that? And a last example, in the grids of many of our customers, we see solar PV curtailment happening, and at the same time in the same street feeder, EVs not charging because “it is peak time in the grid tariff”. It happens every day. “Dynamic grid tariffs” can solve all these issues associated with “time of use tariffs” and can address all these “unaddressed optimization opportunities”, in which “problem + problem = solution”, creating win-win situations for consumers and grid operators. Besides real-time dynamic tariffs, there are other forms of flex-grid tariffs (e.g. if you give the DSO real time access to your heat pump within pre-agreed limits, you get a monthly rebate in your grid fees of X eur/month), that provide price certainty for the consumer and at the same time real-time flexibility optimization for the DSOs, which are also very promising. Germany’s upcoming EnWG 14a is a good example of that. In any case, it is truly inspiring to see DSOs walking the talk and taking real steps to implement these new schemes for consumers. This kind of real-time intelligent interplay between consumers/prosumers and the grid is the ultimate “smart-grid”. #flexiblegrids #gridofthefuture #plexigrid

Slättö enters into a JV with K2A and acquires 40% of high quality SEK 3bn Swedish student housing portfolio Delighted to announce another deal, in many ways a typical Slättö acquisition; a high-paced off-market transaction within one of our conviction segments - residential. Marking the first investment in our new Value Add fund, this deal also is a good example of Slättös’ ability to harness opportunities in a volatile market, one we think will prove to be the best window to allocate into Nordic real estate in quite some time. With this transaction, fund’s managed by Slättö have acquired assets with an aggregate underlying asset value surpassing SEK 8bn in L6M alone. Once again, a true team effort - well done Christian Bratt Gara Tahir Philip Nyman , Jenny Wärmé, Mladen Prodanovic, Fredrik Thoren, Tommy Jansson and Johan Karlsson - also a big thank you to our trusted advisors at Roschier Svalner Skatt & Transaktion and Propcon

Today, we back nuclear energy. Do you know that nuclear energy has the lowest carbon footprint among energy sources, with just 12g CO2/kWh? As nuclear energy needs game-changing tech to eliminate risks, we back Blykalla, the visionary Swedish innovators leading the charge in Small Modular Reactor technology. As Southeast Asia’s clean energy demands skyrocketing, we back the region's economic and environmental future. And as a nuclear energy investor, we back off-grid communities, Arctic regions, isolated islands, industrial process heat and our space exploration. After all, we back human civilization on the sustainable Earth.

Power of a community & the voice of an eco-system. 💪 This week, an important event took place in Oslo. NAST (Norwegian Alliance for Startups & Tech) was launched at Mesh Community with Anders Mjåset & Per Einar Dybvik. 👉 The goal is for Technology to be the 5th largest export industry in Norway by 2030. To reach this, the framework for businesses and governmental trust needs to be aligned with increased globalization and competition. Key success criterias; 💡 Tax - Competitive exit, option, wealth & employer tax as well as incentives for early stage investors. 💡 Talent - Attract talent with visa's and STEM education. 💡 Capital - LP mandates, allowing Government Pension Fund & Folketrygdfondet to allocate 3-5% into unlisted shares. 💡 Automated & effective policy instruments & the state as a buyer. It all starts with people and a good idea. Let us make sure the businesses of tomorrow have all the tools they need to succeed. 🚀 #nast #startups #Innovation #oxidaneventure
