Through qbees, Main is inves­t­ing in a highly attrac­tive and dyna­mi­cally growing market charac­te­ri­zed by strong struc­tu­ral growth drivers, sustainable recur­ring reve­nue models, and incre­asing demand for the opera­tion and outsour­cing of regu­la­ted and busi­­ness-criti­­cal IT infrastructure.

Thanks to its compre­hen­sive exper­tise in regu­la­ted finan­cial market envi­ron­ments, the company ensu­res the secure, regu­la­­tory-compli­­ant, and highly resi­li­ent opera­tion of busi­­ness-criti­­cal IT infrastructures. 

qbees’ exten­sive exper­tise in the finan­cial services sector, its long-stan­­ding custo­mer rela­ti­onships, and its estab­lished market posi­tion in highly regu­la­ted finan­cial market envi­ron­ments create a strong foun­da­tion for the next phase of growth. As a trus­ted tech­no­logy part­ner, qbees supports banks, stock exch­an­ges, and fintech compa­nies in opera­ting busi­­ness-criti­­cal IT infra­struc­tures and appli­ca­ti­ons. Main will support qbees and its expe­ri­en­ced manage­ment team during the next phase of growth, contri­bu­ting its exten­sive exper­tise in scaling soft­ware and IT services companies. 

Toge­ther with Main, the company plans to further drive its growth through addi­tio­nal invest­ments in product inno­va­tion, expan­sion into new markets, and a targe­ted inter­na­tio­nal buy-and-build strategy.

Sven van Berge Henegou­wen, Mana­ging Part­ner and Head of DACH at Main, said: “We have closely follo­wed qbees’ deve­lo­p­ment and are impres­sed by the company’s unique posi­tio­ning, its highly specia­li­zed service port­fo­lio, and its proven track record in deli­ve­ring busi­­ness-criti­­cal solu­ti­ons to clients in regu­la­ted envi­ron­ments. We are convin­ced that qbees is excep­tio­nally well-posi­­tio­­ned to capi­ta­lize on the growing demand for secure IT opera­ti­ons services in the finan­cial sector. We view the company as an excel­lent addi­tion to our port­fo­lio and look forward to working with the manage­ment team to support the next phase of growth.”

Our clients trust us to take respon­si­bi­lity for the IT systems on which their busi­nesses depend. This requi­res tech­ni­cal exper­tise, prac­ti­cal solu­ti­ons, and close colla­bo­ra­tion. With Main Capi­tal Part­ners, we aim to build on this foun­da­tion, invest in our team, and further deve­lop our services. Main brings the expe­ri­ence and network to support us on this jour­ney. Our goal is to grow while remai­ning true to what makes qbees qbees: tech­ni­cal curio­sity, a prac­ti­cal approach, and part­ner­ships built on trust.”
