April 2023
Agilitas Private Equity LLP (“Agilitas”), the pan-European mid-market private equity firm, today announces the closing of the buy-out of Aeven (“the Company”), formerly NNIT’s IT infrastructure outsourcing business. This follows the announcement regarding Agilitas’s agreement to back the buy-out of the business on 22 June 2023. Today, Aeven unveils its new brand which marks the start of an exciting new chapter as a standalone company.
Headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, Aeven has three decades of experience. It specialises in managing customers’ business critical IT systems, providing full and customised outsourcing solutions including data storage, servers, networks and related advising and support services such as IT consulting services in relation to the cloud transition and cyber defence. It is one of the few Danish dedicated IT service providers able to combine the professionalism of a global player with the flexible and local approach required to serve the Danish public and private sector customers.
Aeven has a well-invested asset base, including two fully owned state-of-the-art data centres strategically located in the Copenhagen area. It has long-standing relationships with large Danish blue-chip customers within the life-science sector, financial institutions, and the private and public markets, all of whom have critical IT requirements due to operating in complex environments. The Company also provides a unique service to Danish customers who wish their critical data to be kept in Denmark rather than in offshore data centres, providing a greater level of data security.
Aeven’s activities are highly resilient, with embedded long-term customer relationships and significant transformational potential as a standalone company. The Company supports sustainable development in the IT industry by improving IT infrastructure and developing innovative solutions. Aeven is a sustainability pioneer with 95-100% of energy usage from renewables and energy efficient data centres.
With the support of Agilitas, Aeven will be led through this next stage of growth by Chief Executive Officer Henrik Bodskov, a highly experienced, well-known figure in the Danish IT industry. Kevin Iermiin, Partner at Agilitas, has joined the Board.
