Participants to this round were eCAPITAL, TechnoStart, KfW and TUDAG, all from Germany, as well as Credit Agricole Private Equity, TechFund and CDC Innovation from France.

“Since we joined the Novaled shareholding end of 2005, the management succeeded to develop the company into a major player within the OLED-field,” said Dr. Paul-Josef Patt, CEO of eCAPITAL. ”We are happy to support the company as lead investor of this round in further strengthening its position as a key provider of technology and materials for energy saving lighting and display applications.”

“We are proud that in the context of the current financial market environment our shareholders demonstrate their trust into the Novaled team and management by providing substantial equity financing for the company,” said Harry Boehme, CFO of Novaled AG. “These funds will support our strategy to create value to our customers by providing cutting-edge solutions for energy efficient and long living organic electronics applications.”
