I see a good strategic fit between the two companies. Our ambitions, targets and direction match and it makes perfectly good sense to continue the journey as one team. This is a natural step for NN Markedsdata and I look forward to creating more growth for our customers and an even better workplace for us all.

Ivan Jæger Christiansen, Managing Director, NN Markedsdata

With the acquisition of NN Markedsdata we will expand our operations in our core business area: to deliver credit and marketing data, and analytics services. NN Markedsdata has a strong focus on creating value for its customers and a strong employee engagement - a culture which is a good match with Bisnode. The acquisition will strengthen our capabilities and competences so we will be better at creating more growth for our customers.

Birger Baylund, head of Bisnode Denmark

This deal highlights the continued success of our dedicated technology team who have completed 10 deals in the last two years. With over 90% of these involving international buyers we have knowledge of and access to the global buyer population and understand the characteristics of the opportunities they are interested in. The sales process for NN Markedsdata is a perfect example of a Danish tech company having attracted interest from multiple international buyers. Despite the significant interest, the fit with Bisnode was clear from the beginning, so we’re delighted for the whole team at NN Markedsdata to have found a good home that will further strengthen the company’s leading position within business information and data intelligence.
