Background and purpose

The market for exoskeletons is about to expand dramatically and it is vital for Bioservo that the company’s technology and solutions are accepted and adopted in the marketplace.  To achieve this the Company needs to invest in its commercial organization, ensure increased production capacity, continuously develop and optimize its existing products while at the same time securing expansion of the product portfolio.

The Rights Issue is carried out, primarily, to support and accelerate the Company’s current commercialization of Ironhand®.  In addition, during 2021, the Company is planning a global launch of the next generation Carbonhand^® 2.0, after the completion of a clinical study with the objective to prove the product has a rehabilitating effect. Furthermore, Bioservo aims to finance the development of next generation products, enter new industry verticals and streamline production.

” The market for exoskeletons will be significant. As the standards of the future are being defined today, it is important for Bioservo to invest in our world-leading technology to ensure that we are at the forefront when our customers start to implement exoskeletons at a larger scale. To be present in all key markets, we need to invest in our commercial organization, we also need to continue to enhance our current products and applications, and secure sufficient production capacity to meet market demand. Our Rights Issue will secure that we can continue to grow and become a world-leading supplier of exoskeletons.”  Comments Petter Bäckgren, CEO Bioservo
