2000

Despite a bear market for technology in 2000, Safeguard Scientifics stepped up and out with a bold theme that focused on innovation as the path to renewed growth. The company wrote in its annual report, “Sometimes, ‘thinking fast’ requires us to wait patiently for the financial markets to again reflect the true value of industry groups that are temporarily out of favor.”

With its eyes set on the future, Safeguard focused on anticipating and positioning itself to profit from trends that were driving technology forward.
