CASE CASSIOPEA advised EMK Capital on the acquisition of Project Informatica

CASE CASSIOPEA acted as M&A financial advisor to EMK Capital (“EMK”), a global growth-focused private equity firm, on the acquisition of a majority stake in Project Informatica (“Project Informatica”, “WeAreProject”, or the “Group”), a leading operator in the Italian Information Technology market, from H.I.G. Capital (“H.I.G.”).

Since its founding in 1990, Project Informatica has grown significantly by supporting its clients throughout their digital transformation journey. During H.I.G.’s investment period, WeAreProject completed seven acquisitions, forming the Group, quadrupled its revenues, and consolidated its position as a leading Italian provider of solutions and services for IT infrastructure. Among the services offered by the Group are cybersecurity services, managed services (including SOC and NOC), hybrid cloud & networking, and artificial intelligence. Today, the Group employs more than 700 people and generates revenues exceeding €450 million.

The management team of Project Informatica and H.I.G. will reinvest in the Group alongside EMK to support it in the next phase of growth. The completion of the transaction is subject to regulatory approval.

This transaction marks another step in CASE CASSIOPEA’s role as a trusted advisor to private equity sponsors and builds on our sector track record in the Information Technologies market.
