The firm takes responsible risks, leverages European funds, and works collaboratively to make ambitious projects feasible.
According to the company, this short-term debt is expected to be repaid through the proceeds from a future planned equity raise.
This financing follows the €10M package secured in June 2025 from the Province of Groningen and a consortium of lenders (ABN AMRO, ASN, ING, Rabobank, and Invest-NL).
Planning for equity raise
Currently, the Dutch company is actively progressing towards a future planned equity raise and is engaged in advanced discussions with its Lenders and several government institutions in relation to a long-term funding package.
Earlier this year, the company announced its intention to raise €40M through a share issue, but that process has not yet been completed.
