Partech, a global technology investment firm based in Paris, has announced the final closure of its first fund, the Partech Impact Fund, which has raised a total of \u20ac300 million to support the growth of European technologies that are transforming B2B value chains.<\/p>\n\n
Launched amidst one of the most challenging fundraising environments of the past decade, the fund\u2019s closing represents a significant vote of confidence from the international investment community and marks one of the most important launches of investment vehicles supporting impact innovation in Europe in recent years.<\/p>\n\n
At a time when the sustainability landscape is evolving, this deal demonstrates the continued conviction among global institutions that economically sustainable technology companies are essential to Europe\u2019s economic and industrial transformation.<\/p>\n\n
Backed by a diverse and global base of institutional investors in Europe, the United States, Asia and Australia, the Partech Impact Fund has attracted a number of existing limited partners, including Allianz, Bpifrance and the MC4 fund managed by Bpifrance on behalf of the State as part of France 2030, the British Business Bank, the EIF, as well as new limited partners of the Partech platform, including Cofides, through the Social Impact Fund, Neuberger Berman, KBC, Legrand, QIC, Sett and the Visa Foundation, amongst others.<\/p>\n\n
\u201cBuilding a team and launching a fund in this environment was a real test of conviction,\u201d says R\u00e9mi Said, general partner at Partech, in a statement, \u201cand the results speak for themselves. \u201cWe are proud to have attracted a world-class global investor base and to be supporting companies that are shaping more sustainable value chains across Europe, delivering tangible ROI for their customers; proving that impact and economic performance are mutually reinforcing.\u201d <\/p>\n\n
The Partech Impact Fund is designed to address a structural gap in the European market: providing growth capital and operational expertise to impact-driven companies that have reached commercial maturity \u2013 often with revenues exceeding \u20ac10 million \u2013 and require a partner to institutionalise their operations and expand into international markets.<\/p>\n\n
In addition to capital, the Partech Impact team combines a deeply rooted private equity style with a practical approach to operational scalability, drawing on experience from Bain Capital, McKinsey, Bridgepoint and Goldman Sachs. The team supports portfolio leaders in establishing operational systems, driving commercial acceleration and pursuing inorganic growth. <\/p>\n\n
The strategy focuses on a multi-thematic approach covering clean manufacturing, sustainable agriculture, green construction, new mobility, economic empowerment and digital health. These themes reflect the fund\u2019s mission: to significantly scale up European impact-driven technology leaders that actively address environmental and social challenges. <\/p>\n\n
\u201cImpact-driven companies reaching commercial maturity need investors who can offer more than just capital,\u201d adds Arnaud Minvielle, general partner at Partech (pictured here with Said). \u201cThey need strategic, operational and expansion capabilities that are typically found in private equity. Our fund was set up specifically for this transition phase.\u201d <\/p>\n\n
Marjut Falkstedt, CEO of the EIF, adds: “The EIF is delighted to support the closing of the Partech Impact Fund, which reinforces our commitment to fostering the growth of European technology solutions that generate measurable social progress \u2013 from inclusion and education to health and sustainability \u2013 and to supporting innovators who make a significant impact on communities across Europe.”<\/p>\n\n
To date, 40% of Partech Impact\u2019s portfolio is invested in leading technology companies that are transforming value chains and laying the foundations for a new strategy across a range of sectors: these include the transition to electric vehicles with Gireve (France), sustainable agriculture with xFarm (Italy), the revolution in product development with Makersite (Germany) and the infrastructure transition with Fyld. The latter transaction has just been completed with the UK-based company, thereby expanding the fund\u2019s geographical presence and sectoral coverage, adding to a portfolio that already spans France, Benelux, Germany, Italy and Spain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
