Highlights of the year 2024
In 2024 HGO raised capital on three different occasions including an inaugural debt issue in US$ which not only provided liquidity but also due to the issuance in US$ provided a partial foreign exchange hedge. HGO also completed a follow-on investment in Gauzy Ltd prior to the company's listing on the NASDAQ stock exchange in the United States, as well as a first investment in an EU based company Antaria Pharma. This Euro denominated investment has also helped to balance the foreign exchange exposure in the portfolio.
GAUZY LTD is a world leading vendor of material science, focused on developing, manufacturing, and marketing LCG (light control glass) technology. Gauzy is the only company in the world working with two of the three active light control technologies, SPD (suspended particle device) and PDLC (polymer dispersed liquid crystals).
