Evli Corporate Finance acted as exclusive adviser to Knowit on its acquisition of Cybercom for a total consideration of SEK 2.2bn.
Knowit is a consultancy firm that supports its clients in the digital transformation. The operations are divided across three business areas: Solutions, Experience, and Insight, which offer services in tailored system development, digital customer experiences, and management consultancy.
