26 SAAB ANNUAL REPORT 2011
STRATEGY > PORTFOLIO
SAAB VENTURES
Saab is a research and development focused company. Some of our
development projects result in product ideas that fall outside our
core areas. ese projects have been consolidated in a corporate
portfolio, where Saab Ventures’ role is to initially drive and develop
the businesses together with other co-investors before nding a
natural home for each company.
Saab Venture’s other purpose is to nd and invest in small, rap-
idly growing companies that could eventually complement Saab’s
core portfolio.
In 2011, new investments were made in C-leanship and ISD
Technologies AB. In November, Svenska Tracab AB led for bank-
ruptcy. Saab Ventures’ holding in the company was 6.49 per cent.
Since 2001, Saab Ventures has divested eleven companies. Dur-
ing the year, the shares in C3 Technologies AB, which specialises
in 3D-mapping and in Image Systems AB, which specialises in
technology based on image processing, were sold.
