2 Letter from the Managing Partner
2017 was successful for INVL Technology – since most of the managed companies increased not only revenue, but also profit, the value of the companies under management grew as well.
Kazimieras Tonkūnas
INVL Technology Managing Partner

2017 was successful for INVL Technology – since most of the managed companies increased not only income, but also profit, the value of the companies grew as well. Good results were demonstrated by companies operating in the areas of cyber security, fintech and solutions for IT intensive industries. Income of INVL Technology companies mostly grew in the markets of East Africa and South Asia.
In 2017 we were expanding the regular sales channels and developing new products
The priority for INVL Technology in 2017 was expansion of the regular sales channels as well as the portfolio of the managed companies. The priority for the managed companies was new product development as well as increasing their capacity for international operations.
In 2017 INVL Technology companies carried out projects in 17 countries, including in 14 countries, in which the projects were also carried out in 2016. The companies started new projects, made new contacts with partners in Cyprus, Albania, Malawi, Gambia, India. It enabled them to partly compensate for the new stage of EU funding for the IT sector in Lithuania that has not started yet.
At the beginning of 2017, we established a company in Bangladesh – NRD Bangladesh Ltd., which helped companies to get established in the market, which is strategically important for the entire group. In the second quarter of 2017, in Bangladesh, NRD CS along with NRD AS completed the project of development of the national computer incident response team, which was nominated in February 2018 for a World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Prize 2018 in Action Line C5: Building confidence and security in the use of ICTs. NRD Companies, BAIP and NRD CS also supplied technologies in Bangladesh, intended for development of the computer incident response team (CIRT) laboratory in Bangladesh Computer Council and strengthening of national critical infrastructure.
In 2017, experts of the managed companies also actively organised and took part as presenters and lecturers in various events both in Lithuania and elsewhere in Europe, East Africa and South Asia, cooperated with various international organisations and created new products such as Processes management system by Etronika, NRD CS open-source intelligence module and others. That reinforced the intellectual capital of the companies and laid foundation for growth in value.
In 2018 we will develop the companies and raise their value
In 2018, INVL Technology will give priority to development of the managed companies and increasing their value. The classification of companies into 4 areas of activity, as used until now, will be replaced by 3 new functional groups: business climate improvement and e-government, IT services and software, and cyber security.
NRD companies will continue to belong to the business climate improvement and e-government group, the cyber security group will cover NRD CS UAB and other potential acquisitions in this area, whereas the IT services and software group will be formed by joining the areas of IT infrastructure and IT intensive industries' solutions. IT services and software group

will be formed of companies Novian UAB (known as Vitma UAB until February 2018), BAIP UAB, Acena UAB, Algoritmų systemos UAB and Andmevara AS (that used to belong to the business climate improvement and e-government group).
We believe that this will enable the companies to serve clients better, create a competitive advantage in the Baltic States, support business development in Norway and Sweden, join the companies' forces for development in the region, and increase their income and value. We think that bigger companies will be attractive for investors too
NOVIAN
On 21st February Vitma UAB has changed its name to Novian UAB.
Investments
Currently, INVL Technology is exploring new investment possibilities in Lithuania, Sweden and Norway. We expect to make a new acquisition in 2018 or at the beginning of 2019.
In 2018, the company will also support creation of inner start-ups in INVL Technology companies. Spinning-off of a part of business or product to form separate subsidiaries is also possible.
Managed companies will strengthen their product portfolios and increase efficiency of their activities
In 2018, the priority of the managed companies further lies in new product development as well as increasing their capacity for international operations. The companies will invest into commercialisation and sales of already developed products, brand awareness, also improving service quality and customer satisfaction.
During this period of intensive investment, the collaboration between INVL Technology managed companies is an important aspect of the value growth by 2026. It allows the companies to utilise their resources more effectively, share and take over the best-practices, use sales channels in foreign markets and together develop new specialised competences. Newly formed functional groups will further this by enabling the companies to develop new joint products and services, suitable for better service of clients in the Baltic States and in the territories of East Africa and South Asia, more effectively.
Besides, in September 2017, INVL Technology companies Etronika, FINtime, BAIP, NRD CS, NRD and Acena, which operate in the capital city of Lithuania, moved to new premises in Vilniaus Vartai complex at Gynėjų g. 14, Vilnius. In February 2018, they were joined by Algoritmų systemos. We hope that working side by side, they will be able to carry out multifaceted projects, bringing clients added value and the opportunity to deal with multiple project partners in one place.
INVL Technology's businesses will further benefit from having, together at Vilnius Gates, BAIP'S 24/7 systems monitoring centre and service request management centre, coordinating services in nine countries, and NRD CS Cybersecurity Incident Response Team (NRD CIRT). In addition, clients now have the convenience of being able to discuss ongoing projects in one place. The site hosts meetings and presentations, conferences and workshops.
