Investment & Fund Management

Sapristic, a young and dynamic company based in Belgium, specializes in management software and technologies for Life Sciences, particularly focusing on environmental monitoring systems for clean rooms. The company faced the challenge of scaling its operations to meet the growing demand for its innovative products, particularly the new generation of environmental monitoring systems launched under its affiliated company, BiiON. This system is designed specifically for the pharmaceutical industry, and its successful introduction has positioned Sapristic for significant growth.

To support this expansion, Sapristic secured an EU-guaranteed loan through Sowalfin, the Walloon regional guarantee institution. This financing is part of the Investment Plan for Europe, aimed at facilitating access to finance for small and medium-sized enterprises. The loan has enabled Sapristic to create over 15 new positions, increasing its workforce to over 100 employees. Helene Martin, the Marketing Manager, emphasized the company's commitment to research and development, stating that the loan has been instrumental in hiring additional staff for their R&D department. As a result, Sapristic is technologically ahead of its competitors by two years and aims to become the European leader in environmental monitoring by 2018.
