Interim Report Q1, 2020

CEO statement
It is a privilege for me today to present my first quarter and FRISQ’s second quarterly results for 2020. 

The ongoing pandemic has presented great challenges for a healthcare sector that, by necessity, has been forced to prioritize emergency care – repeatedly straining old-fashioned tools and methods to, and beyond, the limit – over improvements and digitalization. However, that also makes FRISQ that more relevant. Covid-19 has accelerated and accentuated the need as well as opportunities to grow FRISQ internationally. Remote cooperation and access has gone from “nice to have” to must have. 

The financial report presented today reflects those near-term challenges. During the winter FRISQ lined up at the starting blocks to scale up and roll out across Sweden, the Nordics, a few select bridgeheads in the US, and on into other markets that have shown interest. What we have in place is a relevant and great product, and a customer base that really needs and wants FRISQ. The pandemic will not pass quickly, and we have to align to the new reality to secure commercially viable revenue streams. 

We are currently assessing the changes in the market and are carrying out a strategic review of the company to align the go-to-market strategy, the product and the team, in order to realize the full potential of FRISQ. 
I look forward to telling you about FRISQ’s progress over the coming months and years.

George Thaw, CEO FRISQ
