Commenting on the investment, Market Tech's CEO, Charles Butler, said: 

"We have been impressed by MiNODES' analytics which we have been using at our real estate assets for the last five months and this investment represents a significant strategic addition to the Group. The MiNODES analytics are helping us to optimise our real estate assets and we will also benefit from the company's success as it increases its activities, placing Market Tech at the forefront of deploying digital capabilities to traditional real estate assets."

MiNODES' CEO and Founder, Tim Wegner, added:

"We are very happy to strengthen our relationship with Market Tech, which has already proven successful during the past months of intensive collaboration. Market Tech brings in a considerable real estate footprint as well as extensive digital technology know-how, which makes it the perfect strategic partner for MiNODES' aspirations. We are now looking forward to accelerating MiNODES' international expansion, especially in the UK and in North America."
