Benefit from intensive worldwide network to support a global sales structure and associated expansion options.
ELAS Technology Investment GmbH (ELAS) is a German-based but globally oriented financial investor, with Headquarters in Hamburg in the north of Germany.
ELAS has been created to provide financial agility and infrastructure support for promising entities and organizations in the globally favorable photonic and high-tech industries. German industry’s own record and competences in these technology areas is of course second to none.
ELAS’ founders provide over 20 years of comprehensive experience in nurturing organizations and fostering growth, and have already successfully identified multiple business opportunities in the photonics and supporting sectors. This includes, for example, ficonTEC Service GmbH, the leading supplier of production systems for photonic-enabled device assembly and test, with *the* leading-edge global customers in sectors such as telecom/datacom, LiDAR development and production, satellite communications and more. These projects have additionally included the establishment of the critical elements of a worldwide network to support global business development and expansion.
ELAS actively seeks investment opportunities with start-ups and young companies, regardless of location, in particular those with innovative technologies and disruptive product concepts for which identifiable market potential already exists. But we are also interested in constellations for which, for example, the innovation already exists, but perhaps the vision or experience to satisfactorily identify a pathway forward are missing – the team at ELAS can in these cases perhaps provide both agile investment as well as any incomplete market knowledge needed to complete the business model.
