Media

Vision

Digitalization remains the biggest trend in the media domain. Digital (news) channels are increasingly taking the upper hand over printed media. In addition, we also see a number of trends in the media sector that are already aimed at sustainability:

  • Making printing techniques sustainable: excluding harmful chemicals from the printing process
  • Lowering CO2 emissions through optimization transport
  • "Real" news over fake news thanks to new channels
  • Importance of cyber security

VP Capital can only support this sustainable progress in the media sector.

Ambition

We have been investing in media for a long time: since 1951 we are major shareholder in the Telegraaf Media Groep. In 2017, this interest was contributed to the Belgian Mediahuis. Although media are already well represented in our portfolio, we see potential future investment opportunities in these categories:

  • Media that bring positive news with a focus on innovation and sustainability
  • Solutions that reduce the use of chemicals in printing companies
  • Solutions that increase cyber security
  • Optimization transport and logistics of printed media
  • Solutions to combat fake news
