Eden Springs Oy Finland “The fact that Eden Springs is now part of an international group is no coincidence. Our single-minded efforts to internationalize required a huge input of intellectual and capital resources from both our supporters and ourselves.In my opinion Innofinance’s flexibility in financing and its ability to spur on our management team at critical moments as we transferred from the national to the international arena played a key role. It is impossible to overemphasize the importance of such partners in developing a company.” Tom Lindberg, CEO, Eden Springs Oy, Finland
