Verdane has invested in healthcare technology company Eterno, with portfolio manager Dominik Schwarz citing zero customer churn, a rapidly expanding enterprise pipeline, and a market still in the early stages of cloud adoption as reasons for the deal. The Nordic firm's confidence in Eterno rests on capturing a healthcare segment ripe for digital transformation.

Alvarez & Marsal's European Private Equity Value Creation Report documents how widely AI has become a value creation tool across fund portfolios, examining where artificial intelligence is actually delivering measurable returns rather than just operational hype. The study provides hard data on AI's tangible impact on the bottom line for European PE firms.

European healthcare markets offer compelling upside for PE-backed digital plays. Verdane's conviction on Eterno reflects growing appetite among European fund managers to back healthcare platforms where early cloud migration means outsized upside remains available.
