The raising of capital has been carried out in cooperation with the Västra Hamnen Fondkommission as financial advisor to the company. SAAB AB, Midroc New Technology, BGA Invest, Dunross & Co. and Hexiron are participating with a number of private investors in the issue. The money will be used to test the company's power plants Deep Green in the authentic environment outside the coast of Northern Ireland in 2011.
The test on Northern Ireland will prove the functionality of the product and support the cost of energy calculations that show that Minesto’s technology is very cost competitive in comparison with traditional electricity production.
"Minesto's owners are a perfect constellation of industrial companies and entrepreneurial finance companies with strong global networks. We look forward to commercialise our technology with the help of old and new owners. " Says CEO Anders Jansson.
Minesto is also featured in today's paper version of the Swedish newspaper, Dagens Industri.
