📍 Paris, July 9, 2025 — Tikehau Capital has secured €1 billion through its first private equity continuation fund to support the next phase of growth for Egis, a global leader in sustainable infrastructure, engineering, and mobility services. The fund will enable Egis to pursue strategic acquisitions and scale internationally, with a goal to double its size by 2028.
💼 Investor Consortium and Strategic Focus The fund is co-led by a consortium including Apollo S3, a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), and Neuberger Berman, investing via client-managed funds. It marks the fourth investment under Tikehau’s second vintage of its private equity decarbonisation strategy, which has now raised over €2 billion, 1.5 times the size of its predecessor.
🌍 Egis’ Performance and Expansion Goals Since Tikehau acquired a controlling stake from Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations (CDC) in 2022, Egis has:
- More than doubled its EBITDA
- Surpassed €2.2 billion in revenue in 2024
- Outpaced its original growth targets ahead of schedule
The new capital will support Egis’ ambition to become one of the top 10 global construction engineering firms, with a focus on decarbonising transport, cities, and energy infrastructure.
🗣️ Executive Commentary “We are grateful for the continued support of our shareholder, Tikehau Capital,” said Laurent Germain, CEO of Egis. “This transaction reaffirms the relevance of our strategy and our ability to achieve our ambitions together with our 20,500 employees.”
Tikehau’s Co-Heads of Private Equity Decarbonisation Strategy, Mathieu Badjeck and Pierre Abadie, added: “Reinvesting in Egis is a natural step in our mission to back transformative companies driving the decarbonisation of the economy”.
📈 Strategic Outlook The continuation fund includes additional subscription commitments to support future capital increases, particularly for M&A activity in North America. CDC remains a key shareholder, reinforcing the collaborative approach behind Egis’ “Impact the Future” strategy.
Tikehau Capital’s decarbonisation strategy targets companies advancing electrification, energy efficiency, and climate adaptation, positioning Egis as a cornerstone of its sustainable investment portfolio.
