How far we’ve come since the first edition in Cannes! IPEM has become THE unmissable event for private equity in Europe, drawing a growing number of international investors, which reflects the maturity of our industry.
Last week, I had the pleasure of participating in the discussion "Managing Trillions and Still Delivering on Returns" alongside esteemed industry leaders: Deborah Zurkow, Global Head of Investment at Allianz Global Investors, Eric Adler, President and CEO of PGIM Private Alternatives and Jose Gonzalo, Bpifrance's Executive Director.
Key messages:
🔹Our industry is in transition, yet its role in financing the real economy is more crucial than ever. Europe offers a unique landscape for building champions with global ambitions.
🔹Sector consolidation is inevitable; the challenge is creating pan-European players that can compete globally while preserving our local expertise.
🔹Our value creation approach goes beyond financial leverage. Innovation and impact, especially in transition infrastructure, remain core to our strategy.
IPEM also offers unexpected insights. Asked which animal represents private equity on IPEM TV, I answered: a horse. Well-selected and trained, it wins races. You're probably wondering why this analogy? Because, at Eurazeo, our ambition is clear: to strengthen Europe's private equity industry and ensure our sector creates European champions capable of competing on a global scale.
