A message from the CEO.

These are eventful times at Brighter, as we approach D Day and the launch of Actiste. We’re still working towards our goal of launching before the start of next year, and it’s great to see so many pieces of the puzzle, both large and small, falling into place.

There is no doubt that we’re currently in an exciting phase, but the overriding feeling at the moment is that all the work we are doing is so concrete. We’re now working on 0 series production, securing the subscription pre-orders from the county councils, building up the support organization, and finalizing the packaging design, logistics flows, marketing and communication. We’re also organizing the CE labeling for both the physical device and the digital platform, including the interface and apps for users, relatives, healthcare staff, etc.

Of course, our focus from now on will be on preparing for the launch in Sweden, as well as in Indonesia and Thailand. In June we signed an agreement for the launch in Thailand with its largest operator AIS. The number of diabetics in Thailand is increasing rapidly; in 2015 approximately 4 million people were living with the disease. One of the major reasons why we’ve decided to launch in Thailand is because investments in healthcare are a priority in both the public and private sector. The fact that we have chosen Thailand and Indonesia as the first markets outside Sweden is primarily because of the market conditions there, giving us a great opportunity for us to establish ourselves and Actiste.

As well as these countries, we are also receiving enquiries from other countries and we are currently evaluating and assessing the quality of them. As we revealed in August, our main patent has been approved in the United States. We believe that there is huge potential in the United States because of the high number of diabetics, which is why we are planning on expanding there in the future.

We reached a milestone in the second quarter when we secured a major capital injection, and welcomed a major institutional investor as an owner in the form of L1 Capital at the same time. We have secured up to SEK 100 million of funding through the issuance of convertible notes and up to an additional SEK 115 million through associated warrants.  The funding is divided into eight tranches over a period of three years, with SEK 30 million being provided in 2017.

In addition to the investment from L1 Capital, we also received an additional SEK 6.4 million from Recall Capital in July. In total, these investments mean that we now have secured the long-term capital we need to launch Actiste and to produce enough units to meet the initial demand.

It is satisfying to see that we have a growing interest for us as a company and for Actiste. This is shown not least by the fact that we are increasingly invited to speak at events, such as in Cambridge where we were presented how Actiste and The Benefit Loop revolutionize today's diabetes care, as well as Telia's event in Almedalen. As founder and CEO, I am confident that we will meet an exciting and successful autumn!
