NEXTCLINICS continues growing, the group acquired prominent assisted reproduction clinics in Northern Italy
Bologna/Augsburg, 17 July 2018: In late June 2018, NEXTCLINICS acquired 100% of GynePro, an Italian medical Group with in-vitro fertilization (IVF) clinics located in Bologna and Verona. With a 20 year history, GynePro is a highly experienced and renowned medical group active in the area of infertility management, assisted reproductive technology (ART), and prenatal diagnosis. GynePro’s founder, Professor Dr. Marco Filicori, will remain with the clinic as its Medical Director and will become a shareholder and investor in NEXTCLINICS. This transaction strengthens NEXTCLINICS’ position as a leading pan European provider of ART clinics and laboratories. This is NEXTCLINICS’ first major transaction in 2018, and follows a number of late 2017 investments in leading fertility centers and laboratories across Europe, valued at 80 million Euro. The valuation of the GynePro transaction will not be disclosed.

“Our expansion strategy must reflect NEXTCLINICS’ promise to our clients: offer the best medical facilities, clinical experts and services. GynePro has an outstanding reputation in the Italian IVF and academic community, is a large IVF clinic in Italy and Professor Filicori is one of the most respected and experienced clinicians and reproductive medicine scientists in Europe. Recognizing that Italy is a key market for us, our first option was the GynePro Group because of their top quality and reputation. We have every intention of continuing to invest in Italy, both through organic growth and acquisitions”, explains Miroslaw Herden, CEO of NEXTCLINICS.
