Tech
Tech makes up the largest part of the portfolio and is a sector in which the Apax Funds have invested since launch in the early 1980s. This means that our team has not only been part of these expanding industries for four decades, seeing how they have evolved over time, but have gained hands-on experience driving successful disruption and strategic growth.
With teams in Europe, Asia and North America, Apax has built local and global know-how. We create sophisticated networks that can support businesses on the ground at home, while also helping them connect and grow internationally.
The team is proud to have supported some amazing businesses. We learn from their incredible management teams and further develop our knowledge in the Tech sector, particularly in our key sub-sectors: software, tech-enabled services, and telecom.
