Investment areas

Technological investments with responsible impact

We invest in forward-looking B2B companies within energy and/or technology. We look for controlling stakes in companies, either independently or in complementary partnerships with others. We invest in both listed and unlisted shares. We seek to invest primarily in Nordic companies with a global market potential. We search for growth-stage companies with a proven business model and self-financing operations Our investments should contribute to, or have the potential to contribute to, at least one of the six environmental objectives defined in the EU Taxonomy.

Investment strategy

Arendals Fossekompani generates long-term value through three core activities: 
1. Identifying and investing in new portfolio companies. 
2. Driving value creation in existing portfolio companies through active ownership. 
3. Realising value from existing portfolio companies


With over a century of industrial development experience, our investment approach leverages our strengths. We create value through strategic use of capital, expertise and network. Our goal is to create an attractive total return for our shareholders in a sustainable manner.


Active ownership: As an owner, we actively work with the boards and management teams of our portfolio companies. We support our companies in setting ambitious targets and developing strategies to reach them, we monitor performance, support M&A and financing, and work to build strong boards, management teams and leaders. 
Long-term perspective: In every investment, we have a long-term view of our objectives. We retain ownership of our portfolio companies for as long as we are the best owner, ensuring long-term value and stability. 
Forward-thinking: We seek to build world-leading positions in industries driven by global megatrends such as Energy transition, Digitalisation and Deglobalisation. We believe that a responsible approach to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors is essential for achieving solid risk-adjusted returns over time.
