Today, the NEK Group is a family office that invests in fintech, AI, semiconductors, HR engagement platforms, travel, jewellery and luxury goods all the way from seed to growth stage, including highly profitable late-stage companies.

NEK offers early stage companies equity capital, mentorship support and networking access to both the Southeast Asia region as well as China’s Greater Bay region.
