The European Commission approves investment in Q-Labs
Q-Labs' core business is to manage software risks at companies with a large or critical software dependency. Some of the major clients are international corporations, such as Ericsson, ABB and Robert Bosch. Today, the company has a strong position in Europe, and a break-in has started on the U.S. market.
Software represents a growing part of development costs in several industries. Software systems supporting new products, as well as manufacturing processes are becoming increasingly complex, which increases the need for systematical risk management of software and system engineering. The global market for software engineering services is today estimated to more than USD 800 million (SEK 7.6 billion), and is expected to grow with 30 per cent annually in the years to come.
"Through this investment, Ratos intends to contribute to Q-Labs' further expansion, which is likely to involve both organic growth and future acquisitions" says Mr. Bo Jungner, Senior Investment Manager at Ratos.
