another year extension
- Last year we proved a key point in our business model by selling the first
Norwegian and Swedish subscription portfolios. We keep developing such
portfolios in Scandinavia and the rest of Europe for future transactions with
the support from our funding banks, says Andreas Thorsheim, the CEO of Otovo and
chairman of EDEA.
