Company Description
Instem is a leading provider of IT solutions & services to the life sciences market. Instem's software enables its customers (mainly pharmaceutical companies) to bring their life-enhancing drugs to market faster.
Investment Summary
Instem came to market in 2010 with a compelling story based on dominance of a niche market, good recurring revenues and strong cash generation. In our view, the group has a strong track record of delivery, and the favourable market backdrop gives further confidence in the growth story.
