About SMA

We aim to bridge the gap between Europe’s exceptional R&D and its full realization

Helping companies to grow and maximize potential

The European investment landscape requires greater access to specialized growth financing tailored to medtech companies. The current scarecity of niche investors results in suboptimal outcomes despite the high-quality science and development expertise in the region.

At SMA, we aim to address this gap by offering not only capital but also strategic insights, industry expertise, and access to our extensive networks. By partnering closely with our portfolio companies throughout the investment cycle, we strive for exceptional development and full market realization.

Purpose driven investors

SMA targets investments that create long-term solutions to critical global health challenges. We focus on supporting technology-driven companies in the medtech sectors that have developed transformative products with the potential to improve patient outcomes and healthcare delivery. Our goal is to help these innovators succeed by providing the resources and strategic support needed to bring their solutions to key markets, so that life-changing technologies can reach the patients who need them most.
