Shares of investing company Vela Technologies (LON: VELA) are rising on Friday after it noted the announcement of a partnership between Sprintex and Aeristech Limited.
In February, Vela invested £350,000 into Aeristech as part of a £5.1 million pre-IPO funding round into the global tech firm.
The deal between Sprintex and Aeristech was announced earlier this week and will see Sprintex’s penetration into the high-growth and lucrative hydrogen energy and clean air markets. In addition, Sprintex is establishing a new production and testing facility in China to produce several electrical compressor (eCompressor) platforms.
