Partech raises €300 million to scale European impact technologies. Danielle Rossingh Vulnerabilities in the movement, security and cost of goods are on full display amid climate change and global conflicts. Partech launched its Partech Impact Fund to write equity checks of between €15 million and €40 million in European companies improving the resilience of global value chains for infrastructure, construction, agriculture, mobility and healthcare. For the 40-year-old private equity firm's first impact fund, Partech raised capital from institutional investors in Europe, the US, Asia and Australia, including German insurer Allianz, French public investment bank Bpifrance, British Business Bank, the European Investment Fund, Belgian lender KBC, Neuberger Berman, QIC and Visa Foundation. In "one of the most challenging fundraising environments of the past decade," Partech wrote in a statement, the fund's final close marked "one of the largest debut impact franchise launches in Europe in recent years." More than money. Initial deals include French electric mobility platform Gireve, Swiss-Italian sustainable agriculture app xFarm, and UK-based FYLD, which offers AI-powered services for the infrastructure sector. Partech says such startups face "a structural gap" in Europe. "Impact-native companies reaching commercial maturity need investors who bring more than capital," said Partech's Arnaud Minvielle. "They need strategic, operational and scaling capabilities typically found in private equity. Our fund was built precisely for this transition phase." "This new commitment reflects our shared values not only when it comes to supporting scale ups, but that purpose and returns can go hand-in-hand," said Robert Greenwood at British Business Bank. "Together, we can help businesses to grow while creating meaningful impact in the UK and beyond." EIF's Marjut Falkstedt added that the investment "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."
Groq, an AI chip startup, has raised $750 million in a Series C round led by Disruptive, bringing its valuation to $6.9 billion. The funding represents more than double its previous $2.8 billion valuation and highlights growing investor interest in AI inference technology. The company specialises in Language Processing Units designed specifically for AI inference rather than training, offering faster response times and lower latency than general-purpose chips. Major backers include BlackRock, Neuberger Berman, Deutsche Telekom Capital Partners, Samsung and Cisco. Groq plans to use the funds to expand globally, having recently opened a data centre in Helsinki and secured a partnership with Saudi Arabia expected to generate approximately $500 million in revenue this year. The company has raised $295 million in total funding and positions itself as a key component of the "American AI Stack" whilst challenging established players like Nvidia.
