Renaissance Partners

Renaissance Partners is a prominent investment firm established in 2015 as a spin-off from Intesa Sanpaolo Private Equity. The firm specializes in investing in market-leading, primarily family-owned companies located in Italy and other European countries. With over €2.8 billion in commitments from a diversified mix of global institutional investors, Renaissance Partners focuses on four core investment themes: Information Technology & Professional Services, Specialized Industrials, Environmental Sustainability, and Healthcare.

The firm's investment strategy emphasizes value creation through organic growth, international expansion, product diversification, operational excellence, human capital development, digitalization, and sustainability. Renaissance Partners partners with entrepreneurs and management teams to accelerate growth and realize the untapped potential of portfolio companies.

In April 2024, Renaissance Partners transitioned to an independent private equity firm, with Neuberger Berman retaining a minority stake and continued representation on the Investment Committee. This strategic move aims to strengthen the firm's position as a leading Italian operator in private markets, with plans to expand assets under management to €10 billion within five years.
