EOS Global Investors announced the successful completion of the first capital raising phase (First Closing) of the EOS Atlas Infrastructure and Green Transition Fund (“EOS Atlas”).
EOS Atlas raised €209 million during the First Closing and is expected to exceed €300 million at the Final Closing. EOS Atlas is a private equity fund that will target investments in critical infrastructure, and in the sectors of energy (renewable sources and storage), water and waste management, energy interconnections, and digital connectivity, contributing substantially to the green and digital transition of the Greek economy.
The creation of this new investment fund comes to contribute to the achievement of the targets for private investments as well as investments through public-private partnerships, totaling more than €60 billion in the infrastructure and energy transition markets that must be implemented in the coming years.
In this context, the goal of EOS Atlas is to participate in the implementation of these investments in the markets of interest in cooperation with the major domestic and foreign groups active in Greece, and it is already in the process of advanced discussions for the completion of the first investments within the next few months.
The investors of EOS Atlas consist 85% of leading domestic and international institutional investors, including the Hellenic Development Bank of Investments (HDBI), and 15% of distinguished Greek entrepreneurs and family offices.
The competitive advantage of EOS Atlas is based on the composition, complementarity, and international experience of its investment team, which consists of executives with significant experience in the implementation and successful management of large investments in infrastructure and energy transition projects in the Greek as well as international markets.
Mr. Giannis Papadopoulos, Founding Partner of EOS Global Investors and Head of EOS Atlas, stated:
«The successful completion of the First Closing of the EOS Atlas Fund at €209 million constitutes another important milestone for EOS Global Investors and establishes infrastructure and the green transition as a key investment pillar of EOS Global.
We warmly thank both our existing and new investors for their trust and support. We remain committed to an investment strategy aimed at developing strong partnerships and creating long-term value for our investors.»
