Its new investors include a further venture capital fund and several private investors. Nanostart is investing pro rata in this financing round and thereby keeping Nanostart Singapore Early Stage Venture Fund's share in BioMers largely constant at about 24%.

Andreas Kröll, Managing Director of Nanostart Asia, commented: "Investors had a very keen interest in acquiring a stake in BioMers, which confirms the enormous potential the company has for decisively shaping the market for esthetic dental correction."
The new funding is intended for the further expansion of BioMers. This includes building a new production facility in Singapore, expanding the sales and marketing team and sales and marketing support activities focusing on Singapore, the US and selected countries in Europe.
