HAT SGR announces the interim closing of Hat Technology Fund 5, with total commitments of €155 million. The result confirms investors’ strong interest in the firm’s thematic private equity strategy, focused on technological innovation and digital transformation.
The interim closing is particularly significant in a market environment that remains highly selective for private capital fundraising. The milestone was achieved thanks to the confidence of investors in HAT SGR’s previous funds, who have collectively reinvested more than 100% of the capital distributed, as well as the entry of new leading institutional investors, including BPER Banca, Fondazione CRT, Fondazione ENPAM, Fondo Pensione BCC, Fondo Pensione FonTe and Fondo Telemaco.
Hat Technology Fund 5 has a final subscription target of €200 million, which HAT SGR expects to exceed by the final closing, expected in early 2027. The fund invests in companies active in the main areas of technological innovation, with a focus on Digital Enablers, Artificial Intelligence, Software, Automation and Robotics. The investment strategy has already been applied through the fund’s first three completed transactions: Webgenesys, Mech-I-Tronic and Marval VM Motori.
The interim closing concludes a first half of strong growth for HAT SGR, confirming its positioning as a reference partner for the growth of Italian technology champions. With 19 years of experience, HAT SGR today has a track record of €600 million invested in 41 companies, over 60 add-on acquisitions, 33 exits with an average return of 3x invested capital and 2 companies taken public.
