PARTECH IMPACT SECURES €300M TO SCALE EUROPEAN B2B IMPACT TECH LEADERS

Paris, March 17th, 2026. Partech, the global technology investment firm, announces the final closing of its inaugural Partech Impact Fund, securing €300 million in total commitments to scale European B2B tech transforming global value chains.

Launched by a first‑time team in one of the most challenging fundraising environments of the past decade, the fund’s closing represents a significant vote of confidence from the international LP community and marks one of the largest debut impact franchise launches in Europe in recent years.

At a time when the sustainability landscape is evolving, this closing demonstrates the continued conviction from global institutions that economically viable impact‑native technology companies are essential to Europe’s economic and industrial transformation.

Backed by a diversified and global base of institutional investors across Europe, the US, Asia, and Australia, the Partech Impact Fund attracted numerous existing limited partners, including Allianz, Bpifrance and the MC4 fund operated by Bpifrance on behalf of the State as part of France 2030, British Business Bank, EIF, as well as new limited partners to the Partech platform, including COFIDES, via the Social Impact Fund, Neuberger Berman, KBC, Legrand, QIC, SETT, and Visa Foundation among others.

“Building a first‑time team and a first‑time fund in this environment was a real test of conviction,” commented Rémi Said, General Partner at Partech, “and the outcome speaks for itself. We are proud to have attracted a world‑class, global LP base and to be backing companies that are shaping more sustainable value chains across Europe, with tangible ROI for their customers; demonstrating that impact and strong economic performance are mutually reinforcing.”

A New Generation of Impact: Bridging Venture & Buyout

Partech Impact Fund is designed to fill a structural gap in the European market: providing scale‑up capital and operational expertise to impact‑native companies that have reached commercial maturity, often exceeding €10 Million in revenues, and need a partner to institutionalize operations and scale across international markets.

Beyond capital, the Partech Impact team integrates deep-rooted private equity discipline with hands-on operational scaling, drawing on experience from Bain Capital, McKinsey, Bridgepoint and Goldman Sachs. The team supports portfolio leaders on establishing operating systems, driving commercial acceleration and inorganic growth.

Its strategy focuses on a multi-thematic approach covering Clean production, Sustainable agriculture, Clean construction, New mobility, Economic empowerment, Digital health. These themes reflect the fund's mission: to materially scale Europe’s impact‑native technological leaders that actively address environmental and societal challenges.

“Impact‑native companies reaching commercial maturity need investors who bring more than capital”, adds Arnaud Minvielle, General Partner, at Partech. “They need strategic, operational, and scaling capabilities typically found in private equity. Our Fund was built precisely for this transition phase.”

EIF’s CEO Marjut Falkstedt shared that “the EIF is thrilled to support the Partech Impact Fund’s successful final closing, which reinforces our commitment to scaling European tech solutions that generate measurable social progress — from inclusion and education to health and sustainability — and to backing innovators who deliver meaningful impact for communities across Europe.”
