NEXT Biometrics plans bankruptcy filing after failing to secure new funding
  • NEXT Biometrics plans to file a bankruptcy petition with the competent district court on Oct. 12, 2026.
  • The board concluded there is no reasonable basis to continue as a going concern without new financing or a liquidity-providing transaction.
  • Funding talks with larger shareholders failed; they declined to provide additional bridge financing through year-end 2026.
  • Cost cuts reduced annual operating run-rate to about NOK 41 million from about NOK 73 million; cash impact expected from December.
  • Divestment efforts for the legacy fingerprint sensor business have not closed, leaving liquidity exhausted despite non-binding letters of intent.
