- EBRD supports private equity fund Morphosis Capital Fund II with €15 million investment
- Fund supports companies in Romania and other central and eastern European countries
- Investment supports development of private equity asset class in the region
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has committed €15 million to Morphosis Capital Fund II, a private equity fund managed by Morphosis Capital Partners, to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and lower mid-market companies in Romania and across Central and Eastern Europe (CEE).
With this investment, the EBRD reinforces its commitment to strengthening the region’s economic resilience by supporting the development of equity financing as a vital alternative to traditional funding sources. The growth of private equity funds is instrumental in enabling SMEs to scale, innovate, and drive economic transformation across CEE markets.
Anne Fossemalle, EBRD Director for Private Equity Funds, said: “At the EBRD, we believe that strong SMEs are the foundation of economic resilience and innovation. Our support for Morphosis Capital Fund II aligns with our commitment to empowering ambitious entrepreneurs, strengthening businesses, and fostering sustainable growth across Central and Eastern Europe.”
Victoria Zinchuk, EBRD Head of Romania, said: “We are pleased to become investors in Morphosis Capital Fund II. We believe supporting SMEs is key to unlocking economic potential, creating jobs, and driving sustainable growth. We look forward to the positive impact this partnership will have on businesses in Romania and across Central and Eastern Europe.”
Andrei Gemeneanu, Managing Partner at Morphosis Capital, said: “With the EBRD’s continued trust, we are empowered to drive transformational change in entrepreneurial companies in Central and Eastern Europe, enabling them to scale and compete regionally.”
The EBRD is a leading institutional investor in Romania. To date, the Bank has invested more than €11.6 billion in 560 projects in the country, focusing on financing infrastructure, boosting private-sector productivity and further developing the financial sector and capital markets.
