STOCKHOLM / COPENHAGEN, AUGUST 2026 — Europe does not have an innovation problem. It has a scaling problem.

Europe produces world-class science, engineering and frontier technology. It has also spent centuries setting global standards in design, craftsmanship, industrial excellence and quality.
Yet too few European technologies become global category leaders.

Navisalma was built to change that.

Founded by Einride founders Robert Falck and Linnéa Kornehed Falck, together with previous McKinsey Partner and Material Economics co-founder Robert Westerdahl, Navisalma is a new venture platform for scaling frontier technology.

The thesis is simple:
Europe should not try to become Silicon Valley. It should build from its own strengths.

“Europe is exceptional at creating technology, but we have not been equally good at turning that technology into value. We don't need to replicate Silicon Valley. We need to combine frontier technology with Europe's strengths in engineering, design, industrial excellence and quality to build global leaders.”

Robert Falck, Founder & CEO, Navisalma

From Einride to a repeatable playbook

Building great technology is only the beginning.

Technology must become a product people choose, a business that scales, and a company built to lead. Getting there requires technology, design, business, and capital to work as one system.

Over a decade of building Einride, its founders learned what it takes to make those disciplines work together, from frontier technology and product to operations, customer experience, design and capital.

Those lessons became the foundation for Navisalma, a platform built to make scaling frontier technology repeatable.

The platform is already in action through Abundry, a Navisalma company applying the same systems thinking to energy, using technology and decision intelligence to unlock greater value from existing infrastructure.

Einride is where the experience was built. Navisalma turns it into a platform. Abundry shows the platform in action.

One platform for scaling frontier technology

Rather than operating as separate investment or advisory disciplines, all capabilities must work together throughout the company journey: identifying where technology can fundamentally change an industry, translating it into products and businesses, accelerating adoption and operations, building enduring brands and creating long-term enterprise value.

“Europe already has an exceptional capital ecosystem. Our opportunity is not to replace it, but to add another capability. Our Venture Platform connects technological ambition with execution and value-creation discipline, allowing us to work alongside existing owners and investors to help frontier technology reach industrial scale.”

Robert Westerdahl, Founding Partner

The right financing instrument is central to that model. The company aims to connect venture capital's frontier technology mindset with private equity's scale, execution and value-creation discipline, working to bridge the two worlds.

Design plays an equally fundamental role. Navisalma integrates product and brand design from the beginning, not as a layer added to technology, but as part of how technology becomes a product, a company and ultimately something people choose.

“The world's most important technology companies are never defined by technology alone. Design is how technology becomes useful, desirable and culturally relevant. Europe has centuries of excellence in craftsmanship, design, culture and quality. Our ambition is to bring that same standard into technology and build enduring global brands.”

Linnéa Kornehed Falck, Founding Partner

A European model for global leadership

Europe already has the ingredients: world-class science, engineering, industrial excellence, design, culture, quality and sophisticated capital.

The opportunity is to make those strengths work together.

Not to build another Silicon Valley. To build a European model for scaling frontier technology.
Technology is the starting point. Global leadership is the ambition.
