In a world where technology evolves at lightning speed, Omnes Capital has made a significant move. The Paris-based private equity firm has raised €112 million for the first close of its second fund, Omnes Real Tech 2. This fund is a beacon for European deeptech scale-ups, aiming to nurture the next generation of technological innovators.
The landscape of deeptech is vibrant. Last year, startups in this sector raised over €27 billion in Europe, marking an 18% growth rate. Omnes Capital is positioning itself at the forefront of this wave. With a focus on foundational sectors like defense, artificial intelligence, and quantum technology, the fund is set to play a crucial role in shaping the future.
Backed by a consortium of European institutional investors, including Bpifrance and the European Investment Fund, Omnes Real Tech 2 is not just another fund. It’s a strategic initiative designed to support fast-growing companies through their early growth phases. This is where many startups falter. The right support can turn a fledgling idea into a market leader.
The first investment from this fund is in ARX Robotics, a German company specializing in unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) for the defense industry. This choice reflects the fund's commitment to sectors that are not only innovative but also critical for national security. In a world where defense technology is paramount, ARX Robotics stands out. Their work in UGVs is paving the way for safer, more efficient operations in challenging environments.
Omnes Real Tech 2 is unique. It is the first fund in Europe to benefit from the European Union's defense mandate. This backing is a game-changer. It signals a commitment from the EU to bolster its defense capabilities through innovation. In an era of geopolitical uncertainty, this focus on defense technology is both timely and necessary.
The Omnes team brings two decades of experience to the table. Their network of deeptech entrepreneurs and sector experts is extensive. This experience is invaluable. It allows them to identify promising projects and provide the necessary support to help these companies thrive. The fund's strategy emphasizes diversified sector and geographic exposure, with a keen eye on Germany and Italy. This approach ensures that they are not putting all their eggs in one basket.
The previous fund in the series laid a solid foundation. It invested in companies like The Exploration Company and Quantum Systems, which have become industry leaders. The success of these investments demonstrates Omnes Capital's ability to spot and nurture talent. The new fund aims to build on this success, leveraging the lessons learned to drive future growth.
Omnes Capital is not just about profits. They are committed to responsible investing. The Omnes Foundation supports non-profit organizations focused on education, health, and social integration for children and young people. This commitment to social responsibility adds another layer to their investment strategy. It reflects a broader understanding of the role that businesses play in society.
The deeptech market is ripe for investment. As technology continues to advance, the demand for innovative solutions will only grow. Omnes Capital is poised to capitalize on this trend. Their focus on early-stage investments means they are getting in on the ground floor. This is where the potential for growth is highest.
Investors are increasingly recognizing the value of deeptech. The sector is not just about flashy gadgets; it’s about solving real-world problems. From healthcare to energy, deeptech innovations have the power to transform industries. Omnes Capital understands this. Their investments are strategically aligned with global trends and challenges.
The fund is still actively being raised, with a final close expected in 2026. This timeline allows Omnes to carefully select investments that align with their vision. The emphasis on follow-on investments means they are committed to supporting companies throughout their growth journey. This long-term perspective is crucial in the fast-paced world of technology.
In conclusion, Omnes Capital's €112 million investment in Omnes Real Tech 2 is a bold step into the future of deeptech. With a focus on critical sectors and a commitment to responsible investing, they are well-positioned to make a significant impact. The landscape of technology is changing, and Omnes is ready to lead the charge. As they nurture the next generation of innovators, the world will be watching closely. The future is bright, and Omnes Capital is at the helm.
