CEECAT Capital has initiated the first closing of its third private equity fund, securing 135 million EUR toward a target of 200 million to 250 million EUR. The fund is supported by anchor investors including the European Investment Fund (EIF), which committed 40 million EUR, and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).

The fund’s strategy focuses on investing in fast-growing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across Eastern Europe, with specific interest in Croatia and the broader region. The objective is to target fragmented sectors to facilitate cross-border consolidation and integrate local companies into European supply chains.
