Investing in the backbone of renewable energy

Eurazeo is excited to invest, through its Smart City team and along with Bpifrance, in Ambos Energy to support its mission to accelerate the deployment of large-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) across Europe.

🔎 As renewable energy penetration grows, so does the need for grid stability and flexibility. Ambos develops standalone storage projects that balance supply and demand, optimize electricity prices, and enhance energy resilience. By providing critical storage infrastructure, Ambos is enabling a more stable and efficient energy system.

📌 Eurazeo’s investment will help Ambos scale its energy storage solutions across France and Italy, reinforcing the integration of renewables into the grid. With a seasoned team and a bold vision, Ambos is set to play a key role in Europe’s clean energy transition.

Celebrating Progress on International Women's Day

This past weekend, we celebrated International Women's Day, a moment to reflect on our strides towards gender equality. At Eurazeo, we've long prioritized diversity, particularly in terms of gender. Today, 200 women contribute to our growth, making up 47% of our teams. In 2024 alone, we welcomed 48 new female colleagues, accounting for 54% of our hires.

Internally, we're committed to fostering a culture of inclusion and diversity. Our policies ensure equal opportunities for all, with a focus on promoting women into leadership positions. We've set ambitious targets for 2030, including achieving a gender balance in our leadership teams and ensuring that our hiring processes reflect our commitment to diversity.

Externally, we're proud to support this mission through our investments. As a leader in the tech sector, we're part of initiatives like Joines Forces and Dare, which aim to increase gender diversity in tech. The first AI barometer highlights Europe's progress, with 26% female representation in AI compared to 22% globally. Our growth and venture capital teams invest in tech startups, focusing on sectors like AI, fintech, and tech enabled services, where innovation and diversity go hand-in-hand.

At Eurazeo, we believe that promoting diversity and inclusion is crucial for driving innovation and growth. By supporting diverse teams and fostering inclusive environments, we help build a more equitable and efficient tech ecosystem. Join us in celebrating these achievements and in our continued pursuit of a more inclusive future!

FY2024: dynamic first year of execution of our strategic plan

Our 2024 annual results demonstrate the relevance of our positioning, announced during our Capital Market Day in November 2023, with the ambition of becoming a leading private market asset manager in Europe with a multi-business platform: private debt, private equity and real assets.

✅ We have made progress in the key pillars of the plan in 2024:

First, asset management is growing dynamically: fundraising activity is up +23% relative to 2023, at 4.3 billion euros. Eurazeo now has €36.1 billion in AUM.

Second, we continue to improve operational efficiency, as our FRE margin gained 110 basis points, to reach 35.5% which is already on target.

Third, asset rotation has picked-up, as announced. Asset management exits volumes overall tripled.

Fourth, our portfolio is robust. We recorded another year of strong underlying performance of portfolio companies and see a positive outlook for value creation for the coming years.
