OUR JOURNEY
1994
NEWSEC FOUNDED
Our journey began in 1994, when Newsec was founded by Urban Edenström and Investor AB as a property management and advisory company. Newsec was subsequently bought out from Investor AB in 1997.
1996
DATSCHA FOUNDED
In 1996, the market information company Datscha was founded as a spin-off from Newsec. This highlights our enduring commitment to innovation and technology, which has been ingrained in our DNA from the very beginning.
1998
NIAM FOUNDED
Our platform was further extended in 1998, when Niam was founded as an operating partner to GE, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs. Niam subsequently closed Sweden’s first property fund in 2004.
2005
STRONGHOLD ESTABLISHED
In 2005, Stronghold was established to gather Newsec, Niam, and Datscha under one real asset group. Since the establishment of Stronghold, our focus has both been on developing our core holdings and to invest into new businesses and leverage our position for scaling the platform into adjacent value pools.
2015
STRONGHOLD GROWTH
We increased our focus on investing into new businesses in 2015, when Stronghold Growth was established to capitalise on the digitalisation trend by leveraging Stronghold’s position as a leading real asset services powerhouse. Ever since, we have invested in and built several companies in the intersection between real assets, technology, and sustainability.
CONTINUOUS JOURNEY
Our journey, spanning over three decades, is characterized by a relentless pursuit of excellence, innovative spirit, meaningful impact, and integrity. As we look forward, we remain committed to continuously own, develop and invest in the real asset services of tomorrow.
