Companies

Commercial Growth

The commercial growth segment consists of companies that are already selling products or services and showcasing proof-of-concept with high growth and potential to reach profitability in the near term. These companies are generally derisked in terms of technical and product development risks, but often require larger investments and generate lower multiples. Flerie supports expansion through organic growth and M&A opportunities. Flerie will retain the investment as long as it creates value.

A3P Biomedical

A3P Biomedical is a Swedish commercial stage diagnostics company for early detection of prostate cancer. They have developed the Stockholm3 test, a blood test that combines protein markers, genetic markers and clinical data with a proprietary algorithm in order to detect aggressive prostate cancer. Their test is on the market and has been included in the Swedish national guidelines. Stockholm3 has been developed by scientists at Karolinska Institutet and validated in clinical studies including more than 75,000 men, with over 25 publications in leading scientific journals such as The Lancet Oncology and European Urology. Patients benefit from a more precise test (increasing sensitivity and specificity) and healthcare providers can reduce the direct costs by 17 to 28 percent, decreasing unneccesary biopsies and MRIs. It is also being trialled in an organised screening programme by Region Värmland for men ages 50-75.

Chromafora

Chromafora is an innovative Swedish cleantech company with a unique purification technology. It has patented methods to remove heavy metals and PFAS from polluted water, and to extract valuable metals for recycling. The company was originally active in the pharmaceutical industry but has since pivoted to focus on the mining sector. A pilot together with Swedish mining giant LKAB at the Malmberget mine, demonstrated that they were able to capture 99 percent of a single metal from the water. In several landfill leachate pilot projects, Chromaforas method has shown a unique effectiveness on reducing both short- and long PFAS also with high concentrations PFAS11. Given the success of these projects, they are now scaling up the technology in commercialization phase to meet the market needs. The interest and need to remove PFAS from waters are huge and the green energy transition demand for available metals is greater than ever. Chromafora addresses industrial actors and other business operators that have an impact on water in the environment.
