Chalmers Ventures currently has 100 companies in its portfolio, of which 79% have a connection to the university.
Chalmers Ventures, the incubator and venture arm of Chalmers University of Technology, made a SEK81m ($8.7m) profit in 2021, it announced yesterday.
Its 100-strong portfolio consists of 16 listed and 84 unlisted businesses, with 79% of the total having a connection to the university. Chalmers Ventures invested $3.3m in its unlisted companies last year.
The past year also included the launch of 12 new companies and 17 new projects.
The profit made in 2021 marks the best accounting period yet for Chalmers Ventures, which was founded in 2015.
The incubator last year also saw its ownership transferred to Chalmers University of Technology Foundation. Chalmers Ventures had previously changed leadership in late 2020 when it appointed Sara Wallin as chief executive – Wallin joined Talking Tech Transfer to discuss her vision in April 2021.
Chalmers Ventures noted it would reveal more details about its financial year in its upcoming annual review but did not specify a date when this would be released.
