With over €8 billion in assets under management, the firm focuses on the low and middle market segments, investing in buyouts, venture and growth capital, private debt, and secondary investments. Its investment philosophy centers on supporting innovative European companies, particularly in technology, fintech, artificial intelligence, and biotech sectors.

Founded in 1997 as AGF Private Equity under the Allianz group, Idinvest Partners became independent in 2010. The firm is headquartered in Paris, France, with additional offices in Frankfurt, Dubai, Madrid, and Shanghai, reflecting its pan-European and global reach. Over time, Idinvest has evolved from a traditional private equity firm into a diversified investment platform with expertise spanning venture capital, private debt, and fund of funds. Key milestones include launching senior debt funds and expanding geographically to strengthen its presence in Europe and Asia[2][4].
Idinvest Partners rides the wave of digital transformation and innovation in Europe, capitalizing on trends such as AI, fintech, and biotech advancements. The timing is favorable due to increasing demand for growth capital among European SMEs and startups aiming to compete globally. Market forces like the EU’s focus on technological sovereignty and sustainability further enhance Idinvest’s relevance. By financing emerging tech champions and enabling secondary market liquidity, Idinvest influences the broader ecosystem by fostering innovation, job creation, and cross-border expansion[2][6].
Looking ahead, Idinvest Partners is poised to deepen its impact by continuing to support fast-growing European tech companies and expanding its private debt offerings. Trends such as AI integration, digital finance, and sustainable technologies will likely shape its investment focus. As part of Eurazeo since 2018, Idinvest benefits from enhanced resources and scale, positioning it to remain a key player in European private equity and venture capital. Its evolving influence will likely contribute to strengthening Europe’s competitive edge in the global tech landscape[4][6].
