FRANKFURT, Germany – Three successful editions of the ‘Eurobike investors lounge’ prompted organizer Kindermann Value Creation to launch a wider and more in-depth program for this year. The presentations are primarily geared towards the interests of the guests, who are mainly made up of representatives from leading private equity funds and family offices.
“We are delighted to have been able to further expand our program with top-class partners and provide interesting insights into the industry’s investment activities,” says organizer Ralf Kindermann. In addition to the latest developments in the market, participants will be offered exclusive personal support with presentations on market trends and guided tours of the trade fair, as well as the opportunity for personal dialogue and networking.
“Past years’ investors have changed the cycling industry landscape,” said Ralf Kindermann recently in interview in Bike Europe. “Many of them are strategic investors and value the ESG component of the industry. Green mobility is upcoming and highly attractive. The bicycle industry is quite ahead on that which makes it highly attractive for investors.”
