Hereafter, the scope of investments expanded to include healthcare centers, healthcare-related real estate and innovative ventures.

Lakeside Capital Partners’ interest in vertical integration continues to be of importance for its investment strategy. Whilst demographics are reporting a growing elderly index which is leading to increase in demand of dental laboratory service provisions, emerging technologies such as 3D printing are digitizing the workflow in this field.
