This was led by the Mandatum Asset Management Growth Equity II fund (MAM GE) and joined by Varma, Tesi, Ventic and Inventure. In total, Haltian has managed to raise 40 million euros to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company is expanding its operations in new territories outside of Finland as the need for growth stems from the fact that its solutions and services are gaining more clients from overseas. For instance, they will deliver IoT systems to thousands in buildings this year in regions such as Japan and North America, whilst the US accounts for a third of its revenue. This is why they also have premises in California, and addition to an office in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>This new influx of money will not only help them to continue their growth but will also ensure that Haltian can become a global name in the digitalisation of the real estate industry and energy and space-use efficiency.
