Kinnevik’s Year-End Release 2022

2 Feb 2023, 8:00 AM · Regulatory information

”Inflation and increasing interest rates have led to a steep decline in investor risk appetite after two years of abundance. This has particularly affected valuations of growth companies, and had a significant negative impact on Kinnevik’s net asset value in 2022. With measures taken to improve profitability and prolong runways, our companies are entering 2023 with more resilient financial plans. This combined with our own solid financial position, long-term view, and active ownership approach, enables us to remain firmly focused on the continued execution of our strategy.”

Georgi Ganev, CEO of Kinnevik

Key Events

  • Kinnevik led a private placement in Recursion, a clinical-stage biotechnology company industrializing drug discovery, and invested in Mews, a hospitality management system designed to simplify and automate all operations for modern hoteliers and their guests
  • H2 Green Steel, the Swedish venture aiming to produce green steel in a fully integrated, digitalized and circular plant, was added to our emerging portfolio within climate tech
  • Oda raised NOK 1.5bn in new capital from new investors, with participation from Kinnevik, as it continues its geographic expansion
  • Kinnevik received double recognition for our leadership in sustainability – we were the only firm awarded the highest category in Honordex Inclusive Index Report 2022, and one of the top performing companies in Sweden in a sustainability ranking by Lund University
