Pioneer invests in European private companies based on proprietary research themes. Pioneer focuses exclusively on two broad sector themes: Sustainability (Energy, Environment, Water) and Digital Economy (Telecoms, New Media, Technology)

 

A typical Pioneer company is entrepreneur-led with an existing record of success and attractive long term growth prospects. It also will operate in adynamic sub-sector subject to international, regulatory and technological forces. Such factors make it particularly beneficial for a company to partner with a sector specialist investor with pan-European investment experience and a global network.
 		  
Backing from Pioneer can take the form of a buyout of existing shares in a company, or an expansion capital round, or both. In every case, management, Pioneer and other owners will share a common goal of building strategic value over the medium to long term.
