><\/td>\nOn March 21, 2022, EMZ Partners (\u201cEMZ\u201d), along with the founding family and management team, has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the majority of FotoFinder Systems GmbH (\u201cFotoFinder\u201d), a leading provider of skin visualization technology and AI-software for early skin cancer detection.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
><\/td>\nCo-founder and main shareholder Rudolf Mayer withdraws from his shareholding position and entrusts the future success of FotoFinder to co-founder Andreas Mayer, further Mayer family members as well as selected management team members.

Strategic Logic<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n\n\n
><\/td>\nAs the number of skin cancer cases continues to rise globally, so too does the need for accurate skin screening technologies made possible by state-of-the-art software. FotoFinder covers the high-end segment of skin visualization technology, and is pursuing attractive growth options including further international expansion in highly regulated med-tech markets to be achieved through a stronger focus on high-end solutions (e.g. ATBM Master) together with their world-leading proprietary AI technology. In addition to the core market of early skin cancer detection, the adjacent medical aesthetics market is to be addressed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
><\/td>\nThe significant (re-)investment of all existing family shareholders as well as broader management team members clearly underlines the promising outlook of the company and firm belief in continuous future success.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>
