&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;The investment, which includes participation from existing backers Maersk, Intesa Sanpaolo, and Heliad, will target growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises across Asia, with particular emphasis on the Chinese and Indian markets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
