The Fonds France Nucleaire is the fund of the nuclear industry. It invests in SMEs and mid-caps with significant know-how and expertise for this industry (no minimum % of sales in nuclear) in order to support their development and their organic and/or external growth projects.
With the launch of Fonds France Nucleaire 2, the fund can mobilize tickets up to €30m, in majority or minority positions, alone or in co-investment, in the context of growth capital, buy-outs or reorganization of ownership structures.
Backed by EDF, major contractors in the sector, and leading industrial and institutional investors, the fund benefits from close ties with key industry players (major contractors / GDOs, professional organizations, SMEs/ETIs in the sector, and the French State). This proximity allows the fund to access qualified contacts, identify development opportunities, and target external growth strategies for its portfolio companies—more broadly supporting them in defining and executing their strategy in nuclear-related activities.
Since the beginning of the fund in the end of 2021, the fund is managed by Siparex, an independent private equity group managing €3.7bn with a portfolio of over 330 participations.
