Quote from IK Partners

“Our decision to back Nomios was driven by two prominent megatrends, namely the increase of cybersecurity threats in recent years, and rising data consumption. It has been great working with the management team of a company with such a fantastic track record and a highly innovative service offering. We were especially impressed with the company’s multi-country footprint and its outstanding people. We look forward to continue working with the team to help expand Nomios capabilities both through organic and acquisitive growth opportunities and building it into a truly European leader.”
