Our forty-fourth email tracks recent actions and news concerning European FICs, featuring 20 FICs from the UK, Germany, The Netherlands, Bermuda, Norway, Luxembourg, Belgium, France, Denmark, Sweden and Poland.
This edition we track investments by Disruptech Investment Arms/DIAs, portfolio companies and directly by FICs themselves in agtech, biotech, chemicals, AI, green steel, Indian logistics and circular economy tech. Portfolio companies make acquisitions in travel, agtech and safety tech. Another portfolio company sells a package of solar farms.
FICs also expand their businesses with JVs in LNG and fintech, as well as by launching a green ethanol ‘buy-and-build’ platform. Another portfolio company is lined up for delisting by its FIC parent.
Positive H1 and annual results are reported, with one FIC also announcing a €1 billion share buy-back programme.
In people news, at one FIC a non-family CEO leaves early and at another a non-family investment partner arrives from PE.
FICs again show their responsibility, this time by donating to help victims of the recent Morocco earthquake.
With our new template, we close with a summary of the month’s news coverage.
