The firm has found a new company capable of leading the transformation of sectors in cycles of accelerated change, and it could invest between 5 and 25 million euros.
Moira Capital Partners, the firm specialising in direct investments in innovative Spanish companies founded by Javier Loizaga, has a new goal, namely to invest heavily in an SME seeking to improve water quality. It will do so at a time when the drought has worsened in recent years and the efficient use of water resources has become a strategic pillar.
The management company has registered the Moira Capital Desarrollo Omega vehicle, which has received the approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission (CNMV) for the acquisition of a temporary stake in a single company, whose activity should be focused on the technology sector for the disinfection, conservation and improvement of water quality by means of the use of electroporation and advanced oxidation, without resorting to chemical products. They will thus eliminate viruses and harmful bacteria such as legionella, coliforms and pseudomonas.
Under certain conditions, the electroporation process can eliminate the bacteria by means of electric fields that cause them to rupture and die. By means of this electro-physical mechanism, they can ensure immediate and full disinfection of the circulating water. Furthermore, under other conditions, the application of electric fields triggers oxidation reactions leading to direct oxidations of organic or inorganic matter and oxidant generation reactions. They are thus able to generate, for example, active chlorine based on the chlorides naturally present in water.
Once the target size of the investment in the investee has been reached, Moira Capital Partners expects to maintain its investment for an initial period of at least six years, starting from the date on which the company’s initial investment is completed.
As a result, the firm will gain a foothold in a sector set to accelerate in the coming years. The UN Development Goals include one, the sixth, whose mission is to ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. “Access to potable water, sanitation and hygiene constitutes the most basic human need for healthcare and well-being. Billions of people won’t have access to these basic services by 2030 unless progress is quadrupled”, it declared. Rapid population growth, urban development and the increasing water needs of the agricultural, industrial and energy sectors are leading to an increase in demand for water.
Moira Capital Partners continues to invest in innovation and sustainable growth, returning to the essence of private equity embodied by company building, as the team led by Javier Loizaga acknowledged. They are therefore seeking to construct companies capable of leading the transformation of sectors in cycles of accelerated change by means of investments of between 5 and 25 million euros per project. These will be injected throughout the investment thanks to the contributions of the 400 European and Latin American family offices that analyse their projects and decide on their positions.
In most cases, the management company acquires significant stakes allowing it to make a decisive contribution to the planning and execution of the business plan of the SME it invests in, accompanying it throughout the process and adding value in the medium and long terms. Thus, the share of the capital fluctuates between 30% and 75%, its holding in Cubiq Foods, a pioneer in the production of healthy fats.
The twenty or so companies Moira Capital Partners has shares in include Neuron Up, which focuses on neuro-rehabilitation and cognitive stimulation, as it’s used by psychologists, therapists and speech therapists for the rehabilitation of patients affected by a neurological disorder, Luda, which interconnects over 3,500 pharmacies throughout the country in real time, helping more than 280,000 patients to locate the medicines they need for their treatments, The Wise Seeker, which evaluates talent objectively by means of AI, Cimico, which provides biotechnological solutions for the treatment of neurological disorders, and Cella, which delivers technological solutions for complex surgeryhealthy fats.
