Cyberattacks are escalating, costing the global economy the equivalent of ~3% of GDP every year. At the same time, markets that enable a safer and more resilient digital future could grow more than fourfold to around USD 1 trillion by 2040. Together, this creates one of the most urgent and attractive investment opportunities of the decade. 

Today, the global ICT sector contributes USD 6.1 trillion to the global economy, about 6% of global GDP, and is growing twice as fast as the global economy. Yet defenders are falling behind. Critical systems that power everything from smart grids to digital governance are exposed to theft, disruption, and manipulation. Closing this gap will require over USD 1230 billion in R&D and capital investment over the next 15 years.

Investing in cybersecurity solutions is not only about preventing attacks. It’s about safeguarding the foundations of our digital economies and ensuring that they remain a net positive force for society.

Our latest report, developed as part of Summa’s Tech-Enabled Resilience thematic investment strategy, highlights priority areas where investment can deliver strong returns alongside measurable societal impact, including identity and access management, data security, endpoint protection, and managed security services. With cybersecurity spending expected to quadruple by 2040, the sector offers both strategic importance and strong market potential.  

Our investments in Logpoint and FAST LTA show how cybersecurity solutions can strengthen digital sovereignty while offering competitive financial returns. 

By directing capital into these solutions, we can help significantly reduce global damages from cybercrime annually, protect essential services, and build a more resilient and secure digital future. This is both an urgent necessity and significant opportunity for investors and entrepreneurs alike.

Stockholm/Essen, July 18, 2025myneva Group, a leading European software provider in the social sector and part of the Summa Equity portfolio since 2021, today announces the acquisition of Kuidado GmbH, an innovative provider of AI-powered CRM software for patient admissions in the social sector named CareMates.

With this acquisition, myneva further accelerates its growth trajectory, marking its twelfth successful acquisition. The entire CareMates team, including its four founders (Sören Göhler, Dylan Gruner, Johannes Kiwi and Pablo Valencia), will become part of the myneva Group and continue to shape the development of the company’s offering.

This strategic technology acquisition is a significant step in myneva’s mission to become the leading software provider for the social sector in Europe. The addition of CareMates perfectly aligns with our vision of digitizing and enhancing holistic care across Europe – a mission we at Summa fully support.

The AI powered solution, CareMates, will be connected to the myneva care platform, enhancing onboarding processes in social institutions by reducing intake time by up to 80%. The solution, designed to allow care professionals to focus more on people than paperwork, will remain available as a standalone product and will also benefit from deeper integration into myneva’s care ecosystem.

myneva and CareMates are a perfect match – in customer focus, technological vision, and company culture. Our goal remains clear: to provide the most effective digital solutions for care providers of all sizes and to meaningfully improve daily workflows in the social care sector and save caregivers and social workers time.

Added value for CareMates customers

Customers of CareMates will benefit from myneva’s extensive expertise in digital transformation, data security, and artificial intelligence. The acquisition opens new paths for innovation and broader impact across a large number of European social institutions.

The collaboration between myneva Group and CareMates brings exciting opportunities to scale our technology and improve care processes sustainably. We are proud of what our team has achieved and look forward to shaping the future of digital care on an international level.

As a pan-European leader in social care technology, myneva continues to transfer best-in-class innovations across regional markets. Through customer-centric collaboration and the integration of advanced digital solutions, the Group strengthens its mission to lead the digital transformation of social care in Europe.

“We founded CareMates to make everyday life noticeably easier for caregivers and social workers. Artificial intelligence helps us reduce time-consuming and bureaucratic tasks, leaving more time for human interaction. We share this mission with myneva—and are now continuing it together.”

The current trajectory of our global food and agriculture system presents unsustainable environmental and economic risks.   

Intensive production methods have led to environmental degradation, social inequities and declining nutritional value. This has caused societal harm estimated at over USD 15 trillion, surpassing the sector’s contribution to global GDP. 

Summa recognizes this critical juncture as both a challenge and a compelling investment opportunity. Investing in sustainable food and agriculture plays an important role in reducing pressure on the food system and finding new pathways for sustainable growth.  

Summa’s investment strategy aligns with these opportunities, targeting areas including alternative proteins, NextGen agriculture, food waste reduction and the organic foods market. One example of this is Summa’s investment in Nutris, a leading plant-based protein provider headquartered in Croatia. 

Nutris demonstrates how regenerative agriculture can be implemented on a large scale, offering a cost-neutral transition for farmers. In 2024, 15% of Nutris’ farmed land had implemented regenerative farming practices. By 2028, they aim to reach 40%.  

Nutris showcased the effectiveness of their methods in a 1,000-hectare project in Croatia involving 67 farmers. After just one year, the results were significant: a 30% reduction in synthetic fertilizer use while maintaining crop yields.  

Soil health improved, with increased organic matter and water retention. This project proves that regenerative agriculture can be adopted at a commercial scale, benefiting both the environment and farm profitability.

Nutris shows that regenerative agriculture can be implemented at scale without adding cost for farmers. We’re excited to support a company that’s turning sustainable practices into practical results

To learn more about Nutris and the investment opportunity in sustainable food and agriculture, read our latest report, Investing in food and agriculture for health and planetary resilience’.

The global food system is at a tipping point and with it comes a multi-billion-dollar investment opportunity.

Regenerative agriculture alone could see a threefold market increase by 2035, yet current funding meets just 10% of what’s needed. That gap signals a huge opening for private capital to step in and scale transformative solutions. This is a pivotal decade to invest in systemic transformation.

By investing in regenerative and plant-based food systems, we can restore ecosystems, improve human health and reduce emissions. But time is short. Without bold investment and innovation today, we risk locking in an unsustainable status quo.

Summa is committed to driving systems change in food and agriculture. Our strategy is built to seize this moment and invest in future-fit companies that will define the food system of tomorrow. This means we invest in industries supported by megatrends within four themes: Circularity, Sustainable Food, Energy Transition and Tech-Enabled Resilience. Within our Sustainable Food investment strategy, we target four high-impact areas within food and agriculture: alternative proteins, NextGen agriculture, food waste and the organic foods market.

By backing innovative companies such as Nutris and Holdbart, we aim to catalyze scalable solutions that are both commercially viable and environmentally responsible. Investing in sustainable technologies, regenerative practices and nutrition-focused solutions has the potential to unlock both long-term financial value and impact.

June 19th, 2025, Stockholm: Today marks the official launch of Vyntra, a new global leader in transaction intelligence, formed through the strategic uniting of NetGuardians and Intix. Following the acquisitions of Intix in 2022 and NetGuardians in 2024 by Summa Equity Fund III, Vyntra brings together deep expertise in financial crime prevention and transaction observability, delivering a unified vision for trust, transparency, and real-time intelligence in finance.

By combining NetGuardians’ AI-driven financial crime prevention with Intix’s mastery of transaction data visibility and analytics, Vyntra empowers financial institutions to meet the demands of a faster, more regulated, and more connected financial landscape.

Our mission is simple: to help financial institutions navigate complexity with clarity and protect the integrity of every transaction.

Vyntra’s launch responds to a clear market need: real-time, end-to-end oversight of financial transactions that enhances compliance, reduces risk, and strengthens operational resilience within financial institutions.

Planetary boundaries as a guiding framework for sustainable growth

  • News

3 min read

2024 marked an unprecedented year of environmental disruption, with six of the nine planetary boundaries now breached. It also stood out as the hottest year ever recorded, with global temperatures exceeding the critical 1.5°C threshold.

These breaches signal increasing stress on Earth’s ecosystems and raise the risk of triggering irreversible tipping points. The planet’s resilience to human-made impacts is declining, and urgent action is required.

Despite these challenges, promising progress continues across sectors with high mitigation potential. Renewable energy adoption surpassed growth projections, and new investment opportunities are emerging in areas capable of pushing planetary boundaries back within safe operating zones.

The investment case is clear: the cost of inaction exceeds the investment needed by a factor of 4.1x. Between 2014 and 2023, climate-related damages cost the global economy USD 2 trillion. Under a 3°C warming scenario, annual losses could reach up to USD 38 trillion by 2049, more than twice the European Union’s GDP in 2023.

Yet, current investment levels are uneven and inadequate. Particularly in high-impact sectors such as agriculture, sustainable food and biodiversity restoration, which offer strong returns while directly contributing to a stable, low-carbon economy.

The planetary boundaries define the most pressing environmental issues facing our world. Targeted investments can help push us back within safe operating limits while unlocking long-term value

At Summa, we view planetary boundaries as a guiding framework for sustainable growth. They are integral to how we assess risk, shape our portfolio and define long-term value creation. We are embedding planetary boundary assessments into our investment process, enabling portfolio-wide risk mitigation and impact alignment.

This approach helps us identify companies that can succeed in a future economy shaped by planetary boundaries. At a macro scale, the investment potential across our focus areas is substantial and can unlock economic value that extends well beyond individual transactions.

To learn more about how we work with our portfolio companies, including Nutris, Holdbart, Oda and NG Group – who have a combined 1.5 million tCO₂e (metric tons of CO₂ equivalent) in avoided emissions – read our latest report ‘Planetary boundaries’.

-3 min read

May 26th, 2025, Stockholm: Summa Equity has fully exited its investment in the Norwegian digital records management company Documaster, selling to software investor Main Capital. Since Summa’s investment through its Fund I in 2017, Documaster’s revenue has grown more than 15x, transforming it into a leading SaaS provider in the Nordic and Dutch markets.

Insufficient data management leads to significant losses for both businesses and society. That’s why Summa invested in Documaster early on alongside Norselab, and we’ve been a part of its entire growth journey since then. The company’s scaling reflects the potential we saw back in 2017, and we look forward to seeing what comes next.

Founded in 2014, Documaster is a Norwegian company specializing in digitization, compliant document management and cloud-based archiving. With nearly 100 full-time employees, it has become the leading SaaS partner for public sector and highly regulated private entities in the Nordics and Dutch markets and is expanding across the BeNeLux region. Summa’s investment has been instrumental in scaling Documaster’s operations and enhancing its market leadership, leading to profitability in 2024.

With the support of Summa and our other shareholders, we have transformed Documaster into a scalable and profitable business, reinforcing our position as a key player in the digital records management sector. We will now focus on continuing our growth journey and driving our mission to provide secure, compliant digital infrastructures that ensure adherence to both EU- and local regulations.

We are excited to embark on this new chapter with Main Capital. Their extensive experience in scaling SaaS companies and fostering long-term growth aligns perfectly with Documaster’s ambitions. Together, we will continue to deliver value to our customers while expanding our reach and capabilities. I am proud of what the team has achieved so far and look forward to what lies ahead.

About Documaster

Founded in 2014 in Oslo, Documaster is a cloud-native provider of document management and e-archiving solutions. The company’s technology streamlines the capture, storage, organization, and retrieval of documentation, helping organizations reduce inefficiencies and maintain compliance. Its core product, Documaster Archive, is primarily targeted at public sector entities and is designed to meet strict regulatory and operational requirements. Documaster currently serves approximately 750 customers, primarily in the public sector across Norway, Sweden, and the Netherlands.

Summa Equity owned myneva Group continues its growth journey with the acquisition of DM EDV

  • News

-3 min read

January 2nd, 2025, Stockholm: The myneva Group, a leading European software provider in the social sector aquired by Summa Equity in 2021, announces the successful acquisition of DM EDV GmbH from ARZ Haan AG.

With this acquisition, the Germany-based myneva Group continues its successful series of ten acquisitions. It will acquire the entire DM EDV GmbH, including all 65 employees and over 1,500 customers who will now become part of the myneva family.

This acquisition marks another milestone in myneva Group’s growth strategy, further solidifying its position as the leading European provider of software solutions for the social sector. DM EDV complements myneva Group’s existing product portfolio with its proven DM7 software solution. DM7 is known for its strong focus on telematics infrastructure integration and supports small and medium-sized organizations in both residential and ambulatory care.

I am impressed by the strong development of myneva under the leadership of CEO Dieter Weisshaar. With this strategic acquisition, the company further strengthens its market position as a leading software provider in the European social care sector, therewith helping to address the many pressing challenges the care sector faces.

The integration of DM7 into the myneva Care Platform is expected to be completed by 2025. DM EDV customers can look forward to an expanded product offering and state-of-the-art technologies, including AI-driven applications and mobile solutions, while continuing to use their familiar software.

The acquisition of DM EDV represents a pivotal milestone in myneva Group’s growth strategy, increasing the number of supported institutions to approximately 6,000.

myneva and DM EDV are an excellent match in every aspect – from customer base to technology and culture. By integrating DM EDV, we not only expand our portfolio but also enhance our ability to drive digital innovations that transform the social sector sustainably. Our goal is to provide the best technological solutions to our customers, regardless of their size, and significantly improve the daily routines in care

For DM EDV customers, this integration brings significant value. In addition to an expanded product range and enhanced features, they will benefit from myneva’s comprehensive expertise in digitalization, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. The approximately 65 DM EDV employees will also be fully integrated into the growth-oriented organization.

Sascha Platen, who will take on the role of Head of DM Care within myneva Group, comments:

The integration into the myneva Group opens new opportunities for us and our customers to leverage innovative technologies and sustainably improve care processes. We are especially proud that DM7, with its focus on telematics infrastructure, will become part of a comprehensive European platform.

Stephan Pleye, former Managing Director of DM EDV, will remain with ARZ Haan AG at his own request.

The myneva Group is distinguished by its ability to quickly transfer innovations from various European countries to new markets. By integrating the best digital technologies and collaborating closely with its customers, the Group continues to drive the digitalization of the social sector.

Our platform strategy allows us to seamlessly integrate the products and solutions of DM EDV, creating real value for both myneva and DM EDV customers. We are excited to welcome the DM EDV community to the myneva family and to shape the future of the social sector together.
