As part of its efforts to become a leading private equity player in Europe, Apax Partners sas, based in Paris, has changed the name of its company to Seven2.

Apax Partners invests in high-potential small and medium-sized companies in France and continental Europe, covering four sectors of specialization: Tech & Telecom, Consumer Goods, Healthcare and Services.

Apax now plans to rise to the next level and become a leading private equity player in Europe, an ambition shared by all of the firm’s Partners.

Such an important milestone in Apax’s history warrants a change in the company’s name:
Apax Partners is now Seven2. Seven2 refers to 1972, the year Apax Partners was founded.

The firm’s first steps to achieve its objectives are to:

• Continue its geographic expansion in Europe, especially in Germany where a local team is being formed.
• Recruit more than 20 talents in 2023 to reinforce its various teams.
• Double its assets under management by 2025.
