Report highlights

”It’s been a strong first half of 2017 for us. The execution of our new strategy is moving forward very well. These 3 key things summarize the H1 for us:

1.      Nitro Games shares were listed on Nasdaq First North Stockholm market place June 16th and therefore we were able to secure the funds we need to start our self-publishing operations.
2.      We brought Medals of War to first markets. We’re off to a good start with our self-publishing operations as the game was soft launched in Sweden and the Netherlands during the interim period.
3.      We’ve seen strong growth in our business where we offer our services to 3rd parties, which has resulted in growth in revenue.

These 3 things combined mean that we’re in strong position moving forward to the second half of 2017.”, says Jussi Tähtinen, CEO of Nitro Games.
