Anoto sells interest in We-Inspire and enters into related technology agreement


Lund, December 22, 2016 – Anoto Group AB has today completed an agreement to sell its minority interest in We-Inspire GmbH on favorable terms. This transaction is the culmination of negotiations announced on the 16th of last month relating to Anoto’s focus on achieving profitability by concentrating on just three existing business areas and achieving growth through the Anoto DNA initiative.

Today’s agreement secures for We-Inspire commercial access to certain of Anoto’s technologies and empowers it to continue to meet the needs of its current ideation customers and partners. While Anoto will receive ongoing revenue from this arrangement, its primary motivation is to support innovation that leverages Anoto’s proprietary strengths to enhance the quality of human collaboration.

This transaction is another important milestone on Anoto’s path to realizing its vision and achieving financial strength.
