Swedish investment company acquires i-Solutions and Meona

Both support hospitals in the digitalization of their processes. After the takeover, the investment company Trill Impact wants to merge both start-ups.

The Swedish private equity company Trill Impact strikes on the German market and takes over the software company for the clinical area Meona as well as i-Solutions, a provider for practice management and billing. The goal is apparently to merge the two companies. Nothing is known about the sums involved, and the acquisitions and merger still need to be approved by the German Federal Cartel Office.

"With Trill Impact, we have jointly found an investor who shares our vision. Now we want to combine our innovative strength with the experience and product breadth of i-SOLUTIONS," says CEO Tobias Schäfer of Meona. He founded the Freiburg-based company together with Matthias Wuttke in 2008. In 2017, it merged with software provider E.care to form the Meona Group, and in 2019, Dr. Heni Software GmbH & Co. KG joined the group. The Meona Group's software is explicitly developed for the digitalization of processes in hospitals. Trill Impact takes over the majority of shares from the investment company Emeram Capital Partners, which was also responsible for the mergers.

The managing directors of i-Solutions are also pleased with the merger: "The products of Meona, E.care and i-SOLUTIONS together cover almost all of the funding elements of the Hospital Futures Act. Our customers now receive the entire range of leading solutions from a single source," Joachim Schweizer and Wolrad Rube are quoted as saying. The Hospital Future Act, which was passed in 2020, contains an investment program of three billion euros for the promotion of hospitals, explicitly the digital infrastructure is to be expanded with the help of the money.
