Candela raises €8m in investment

Swedish start-up company Candela, builder of the Candela Seven speedboat, has received significant backing from TED Talks chairman Chris Anderson who, together with other parties, has invested almost €8m in the company to significantly expand production capacity. “That’s surely needed, since we’re almost sold out for the first half of 2020,” says Candela in a statement. “After articles in the New York Times, Electrek and others, the order book is filling up quickly – last week, for example, we sold six boats.”
