Bremen, May 23, 2016. Space and technology group OHB SE (Prime Standard,
ISIN DE0005936124) has established a new subsidiary known as OHB Venture
Capital GmbH. The new subsidiary has its registered offices at OHB's new
site in Weßling near Munich.
Describing the new company, Marco Fuchs, CEO of OHB SE explains: "Space
business and funding for it are undergoing rapid change at the moment.
Everyone is talking about "new space" and OHB would like to be at the
vanguard here, encouraging and overseeing promising ideas from the outset."
Looking forward, innovation spending previously handled directly by OHB
companies is to be pooled under the roof of OHB Venture Capital GmbH, which
has been created for this purpose.
"Obviously, we will be focusing on those areas which stand to be of
particular benefit for the Group," says Jochen Harms, managing director of
OHB Venture Capital GmbH. The new OHB subsidiary will be particularly
investing in the early phase of companies active in technologies and
services closely related to space.
OHB Venture Capital GmbH will be operating as a corporate venture company,
primarily investing in enterprises which can be integrated within the OHB
Group at a later date. To this end, it will be seeking a majority interest
and bringing on board other venture capital companies and particularly
investors able to add value to the investment.
