21 Next officially closed the transaction between 21 Invest and 21 Tages, bringing together private equity, energy transition, infrastructure, and private debt under a single strategic direction.

21 NEXT represents the convergence of two complementary entrepreneurial journeys that have shaped the evolution of European private markets over the past three decades. One began in 1992 with the founding of 21 Invest, building a leading private equity platform focused on partnering with entrepreneurs and management teams to accelerate the growth of lower mid-market businesses across Europe. The other started in 2011 with the founding of 21 Tages, which has grown into a leading alternative investment platform across infrastructure, energy transition and private debt, driven by a long-term investment approach and deep sector expertise. In 2026, these two complementary businesses came together under 21 NEXT, combining decades of entrepreneurial experience, local market knowledge and diversified investment capabilities within a single European investment platform. Today, 21 NEXT brings together complementary investment strategies, shared expertise and a common ambition to create long-term value for investors, entrepreneurs and the communities in which they operate.
