With a focus on small- and mid-cap companies in Northern Europe, with established business models and high growth potential, we invest in companies that drive both economic and environmental benefits.

Alder has ~€500m in assets under management and has recently launched its third fund, currently being invested. Since its inception in 2010, Alder has made 22 platform investments, and more than 80 add-on acquisitions, in industries such as smart energy metering, water treatment and intelligent transportation.

At Alder, we value diversity and believe that different backgrounds contribute to making our team stronger. Our team works closely together with inclusive and transparent decision-making. We mix industrial and financial expertise and believe in entrepreneurship as a driving force.
