QINO Mission Statement

ABOUT US

QINO Group companies were first established in 1999 to pursue the vision of an independent and conflict-free group of companies, which adheres to the highest ethical standards.

In the past, QINO was a group of research, investment and advisory firms specialised in the development of strategic corporate investments, both on a proprietary basis and also as a trusted partner for institutional and qualified investors. In 2018, the activities of the Group were streamlined and simplified.

OUR HISTORY

In 2000, the Directors and some of their business associates founded Qino Flagship AG and in 2001, Qino Capital Partners AG, both in Switzerland. Qino Flagship AG focussed on early stage technology investments and Qino Capital Partners AG focussed on private equity buyout strategies. In 2007, both companies were listed on the Berne Stock Exchange.
