Qualco Group has acquired a 50.1% stake in Multiverse S.A., executing a strategic move with a dual focus: expanding its Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions and securing access to significant European innovation funds.
Strategic Goals and Funding Access
The acquisition establishes a direct link to the European funding ecosystem, which commands resources exceeding €300 billion. Specifically, the group is targeting programs worth approximately €20 billion dedicated to AI, fintech, and data analytics. This move aligns with management's ambition to more than double pre-IPO revenues by 2028, aiming for over 40% of total revenue to be generated from international markets.
Multiverse Profile and Synergies
Multiverse S.A. is a prominent European platform for funding and innovation consulting services. It offers specialized AI platforms with applications in critical sectors, including:
- Risk assessment and scientific impact analysis.
- Management of public-private partnerships.
- Applications in Health, Energy, Transport, Environment, and Defense.
Furthermore, Multiverse serves as a pan-European "sandbox" for testing new products and strengthens Qualco Group's distribution network in the Baltic countries.
Financial Terms and Performance
The initial consideration for the shares is €0.9 million, with an additional performance-linked payment (earn-out) of up to €1.35 million. The Group will also contribute €0.15 million via a share capital increase to support further growth. In 2025, Qualco Group reported revenues of €216 million (+17%) and an EBITDA of €43 million. The growth trend continued into the first half of 2026, marked by the addition of new institutional clients across Europe.
