Vizrt

Business Description

Vizrt is a global leader in production software for live video production, serving the world’s best storytellers from tier one sports and news producers through to corporate, education and Pro-AV markets.

Vizrt was listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange when acquired by Nordic Capital VIII in March 2015 and was subsequently de-listed. Following Nordic Capital’s initial investment in 2015, Vizrt has continued its innovation leadership in graphics and live production software, successfully expanded into new markets and regions and is today a global leading software provider for software defined visual storytelling solutions.

In March 2022, Nordic Capital VIII exited its investment in Vizrt Group to a new Nordic Capital-led consortium to further support the company’s successful growth journey. This transaction will allow Nordic Capital, alongside the Vizrt management team, to continue to support the business and its strategy over its next ownership cycle, providing capital to further fuel the strong growth momentum.

Building on Vizrt’s leading technology platform, strong customer relationships and reputation for operational excellence, Nordic Capital’s aim is to further support Vizrt’s continued transition to a SaaS business model, accelerate new offerings, expanding its operational capabilities and pursuing add-on investments to complement the offering and further accelerate the group’s growth.
