Mission & Approach
Our mission at Odien is to create superior investment returns through a value-added
investment approach. We identify investment opportunities through our extensive
network of contacts in Central and Eastern Europe and Odien professionals undertake
in-depth strategic, industry and financial analysis in evaluating a potential investment.
We only invest in companies where we believe we can add value to the company’s operations.
Odien’s support is usually based on assisting a company in devising and implementing
effective financial and operational restructuring plans based on Odien professionals’
broad experience in investing in and managing distressed assets. Odien also provides
support in successfully implementing effective business plans which include expansions,
acquisition support, financial reporting and controls, and capital optimization
and operating strategies. Odien professionals abide by the highest ethical norms
in conducting its business and observe the highest level of legal standards.
Social Responsibility
Odien supports meaningful projects which benefit the community. Directly or through
its portfolio companies, Odien sponsors or supports important non-profit organizations
and causes. The Group is a sponsor and provides financial support through Čedok
to the Foundation for the Development of Civic Society for the “Help Children” fund-raising
project in the Czech Republic and through RadyoSpor sponsors the handicapped basketball
league in Turkey.
Odien also sponsors sports events both in the Czech Republic and abroad. The most
important projects include being a main sponsor for the Mladá Boleslav football

Republic. Odien contributes to sports through Čedok in both cases.
