With a passion for continuous development

Since the 90’s, good friends Göran Grell and Fredrik Helgesson have taken advantage of each other’s skills and experience in the workplace. But it wasn’t until 2014 (after also working together for a few years) that they finally had the opportunity to do what they had been talking about for a long time – start a business together. These two entrepreneurs with solid experience in building, developing, and investing in companies founded Travelmate AB with the ambition to contribute to growth journeys and success stories. Today, the portfolio contains a wide range of investments in, among other things, industrial operations, the travel industry, education, and community properties – and there are more to come.
