DK-Copenhagen, August 20, 2019 

Nanovi A/S (Nanovi), a Danish company specialized in the development of liquid fiducial markers to enable high-precision radiation therapy and cancer surgery, has successfully closed a funding round and raised DKK 19 million in new equity capital. Existing shareholders in the company, including highly seasoned investors with many years of experience from the MedTech industry, have subscribed the new capital.

In connection with the new capital round, Nanovi’s largest shareholder, Vækstfonden (the Danish Growth Fund) has also opted to convert a convertible loan of DKK 6.25 million into new equity in the company. The conversion of debt to equity in combination with the subscription of new equity capital has significantly strengthened Nanovi’s balance sheet.   

With the proceeds from the new capital round, Nanovi is well funded to both bridge the final step until commercialization of BioXmark^®, a liquid fiducial marker to enable high-precision radiation therapy and its lead product for human use. BioXmark^® is expected to be CE marked later in 2019 with a broad indication for use to guide radiotherapy across many types of soft tissue cancers.

In 2018, Nanovi commercialized PetXmark™, a liquid fiducial marker for veterinary use to radiographically mark subcutaneous cancers.

Jesper Boysen, CEO of Nanovi commented: “We are very happy for the strong commitment and trust shown by our shareholders in this financing round. It is a crucial time for Nanovi, as we expect BioXmark^® to be CE-marked later this year with a broad indication for use to guide radiation therapy of soft tissue cancers. We chose last year to aim for a broad use indication as it will open a substantially larger market for our product. Over the past year, we have attracted additional core competences to our team and focused to up-qualify and validate our operations to be ready for commercialization.”
