Life sciences, future commerce, and information and communication technology

Founded in 2002, EOSS is an industry and technology group that exports to over forty countries worldwide and employs around one thousand people. With a history as an industrial holding company, EOSS harnesses this wealth of experience and deep understanding of how to form and invest in businesses to drive startups forward and help them reach their potential. Specializing in life sciences, future commerce, and information and communication technology, it looks for businesses whose models have the potential to grow. It’s not bound to any industries and acts opportunistically, as long as the businesses bring additional value to the table. “We focus on seed- and early-stage funding and offer long term investments,” says Thomas Erkinger, CEO of EOSS Industries. “We act as co-entrepreneurs and invest if we can take over a share of the business and our strategic interests are aligned with the co-entrepreneurs. We make entrepreneurial rather than speculative decisions and are also experts on business successions, pre-insolvency restructurings, management buyouts and joint ventures with corporates.”

Having invested in over fifty different companies, EOSS is uniquely positioned to help early-stage and well-established companies to scale. They provide access to clients and create an environment where teams can succeed. A key component of its success is the development of innovative and flexible business models. From the beginning, the founders realized there was a big gap in knowledge among startups on how to adapt and evolve a business model successfully. Keen to address this, they help companies overcome any barriers or obstacles to growth. With support from the EOSS team of specialists, they are passionate about guiding companies to combine innovation and technology and about fostering an entrepreneurial spirit driven by creativity. With each partnership and investment, EOSS brings years of experience in the field of mergers and acquisitions, a wealth of resources and its own ecosystem that generates unrivalled added value. It also runs an innovation program, where it invests in startup projects and spinoffs to drive innovation forward in a targeted manner.
