SpaceInvader får Børsens gazelle-pris 2022

Greentech-virksomheden, SpaceInvader, der hjælper logistik- og supply chain branchen med at nedbringe CO2-aftrykket og spare omkostninger, har i år modtaget Børsens årlige gazellepris for første gang. Prisen gives til de virksomheder, der har skabt størst omsætningsvækst i det forgangne år. Ud af de rekordmange virksomheder der i år modtog prisen, placerer SpaceInvader sig i top 12% med en omsætningsvækst på 370%.

Hvert år hylder Børsen de hurtigst voksende virksomheder i Danmark, når de kårer årets gazelle-virksomheder. I 2022 kom SpaceInvader i det eksklusive selskab blandt de i alt 2.651 vækstvirksomheder, der indfriede gazelleprisens kriterier.

”Vi er meget stolte af gazellekåringen og den anerkendelse prisen giver. Når vi samtidig lander blandt de 12% bedst placerede med en omsætnings- og vækstfremgang på 370% viser det, at vi er på rette vej med vores klimaløsning”, fortæller Steen Frederiksen, CEO i SpaceInvader.

Selskabet har opfundet og patenteret et unikt transportstativ system, som hjælper logistik- og supply chain sektoren med både at blive grønnere og samtidig spare omkostninger ved at kapacitetsoptimere godshåndtering i forsyningskæden fra produktion til transport og distribution.

”Vi gik for alvor i markedet i 2018 og selv om Corona selvfølgelig udfordrede os, lykkedes vi med at videreudvikle og vækste vores forretning. De gevinster vores løsning bringer til markedet i form af CO2-reduktioner og sparede omkostninger, er der ekstraordinært brug for i en udfordrende tid, præget af ustabile fragtrater, pressede forsyningskæder, manglende chauffører, høje brændstofpriser og akut behov for at tænke klima ind i alle forretningsbeslutninger”, siger Steen Frederiksen.

2022 blev året, hvor SpaceInvader både tilpassede sin vækststrategi og gjorde klar til yderligere skalering og indtog på nye markeder. Det blev også året, hvor SpaceInvader udgav sin første klimarapport, der dokumenterer store CO2-besparelser for selskabets kunder. Blandt kunderne findes store selskaber som PostNord, Bring, Blue Water Shipping og Asko.

”Børsens gazellepris forholder sig udelukkende til omsætningsvækst; det er jo ikke en klimapris. I al beskedenhed er vi stolte af væksten, men vi er særlig stolte af, at vores løsning hjælper virksomheder til at blive grønnere, det er jo hvad vi er sat i verden for. Fremtiden ser lys ud for SpaceInvader, og vi glæder os til at skalere forretningen yderligere i samarbejde med både nuværende og nye kunder og partnere i det nye år”, slutter Steen Frederiksen.

Hvem får gazelleprisen?

Dagbladet Børsen har siden 1995 kåret gazellevirksomheder. På landsplan er der i 2022 kåret 2.651 gazellevirksomheder. En gazelle er en virksomhed, som i løbet af fire regnskabsår hvert år har haft positiv vækst og samlet set mindst fordoblet omsætningen over de fire år. Hvis virksomheden ikke giver omsætning i sit regnskab, beregnes væksten på baggrund af bruttoresultatet. Gazellerne er med til at sikre fremtiden for dansk erhvervsliv, fordi de skaber både job, vækst og optimisme.

Greentech company SpaceInvader receives Børsens gazelle award 2022

Copenhagen December 12, 2022,

Greentech company SpaceInvader has for the first time received a ‘Gazelle Award’, which is an annual business growth prize awarded by the leading Danish business daily Børsen. SpaceInvader’s solution helps the logistics and supply chain industry reduce its carbon footprint and save costs. The award is given to companies that have generated the most revenue growth in the past year. Out of the record number of companies receiving the award this year, SpaceInvader is placed in the top 12% with a revenue growth of 370%.

Each year, Børsen awards the fastest growing companies in Denmark when it selects the Gazelle companies of the year. In 2022, SpaceInvader made it into the exclusive club among a total of 2,651 growth companies that met the gazelle award criteria.

"We are very proud of the gazelle award and the recognition that comes along. When we also land among the top 12% with a revenue and growth increase of 370%, we are confirmed that we are on the right track with our climate solution", says Steen Frederiksen, CEO of SpaceInvader.

The company has invented and patented a unique transport rack system that helps the logistics and supply chain sector decarbonise and save costs through capacity optimisation of goods handling in the supply chain from production to transport and distribution.

"We entered the market in earnest in 2018 and although the pandemic obviously challenged us, we managed to further develop and grow our business. The benefits our solution brings to the market in terms of CO2 reductions and cost savings are extraordinarily needed in challenging times with unstable freight rates, supply chains under pressure, driver shortages, high fuel prices, and an urgent need to think climate into all business decisions", says Steen Frederiksen.

2022 was also the year SpaceInvader both adapted its growth strategy and prepared for further scaling and new market entries. SpaceInvader also published its first climate report in 2022 documenting significant CO2 savings for the company's customers. Customers include major companies such as PostNord, Bring, Blue Water Shipping and Asko.

"The gazelle award only relates to revenue growth; hence it is not a climate award. In all modesty, we are proud of the growth, but we are particularly proud that our solution helps companies to become greener, which is ultimately what we set out to do. The future looks bright for SpaceInvader, and we look forward to scaling the business further in collaboration with both current and new customers and partners in the new year", Steen Frederiksen concludes.

Who gets the gazelle award?

Dagbladet Børsen has been awarding gazelle companies since 1995. Nationwide, 2,651 gazelle companies were awarded in 2022. A gazelle is a company that has achieved growth in each of the past four financial years and has at least doubled its turnover over the four years. If the company does not report turnover in its accounts, growth is calculated on the basis of gross profit. Gazelles help secure the future of Danish business by creating jobs, growth, and optimism.
