Comments on 2007 from LinkMed CEO, Ingemar Lagerlöf:
“I am very pleased with the development of most of our portfolio companies last year and would like to point out that several of them have reached important milestones. A number of these companies have reached such a level of maturity that it is time for us to prepare for our exit as an owner. We have therefore strengthened our organization and I estimate that we will have carried out a couple of exits before 2010.”
