- Denmark’s P+ has invested DKK 750m in a European technology fund.

The PSG Europe III fund has allocated around DKK 30bn for the growth and development of European tech companies. French artificial intelligence (AI) company Mistral is among the first investments. Private equity fund PSG Equity is behind the fund, which targets European software and technology companies with a focus on AI to help them scale and create growth. The fund's investment in Mistral is part of a larger investment round, in which a total of around DKK 23bn in financing has been secured. "Europe has great growth potential when it comes to AI and technology, which also plays an important role in Europe's geopolitical positioning,” said P+ head of private investments, Michael Dalsgaard. “The investment in PSG Fund Europe III will both help create good returns for our members and support European competitiveness and growth.”

All members will be able to select the profile, regardless of the minimum period spent in their current investment fund.

Uwelfare, the project in collaboration with Euregio Plus SGR S.p.A. and the PensPlan Profi pension fund, was developed to give Italian university students access to an open pension fund. Over 130 students who participated in the programme expressed an interest in joining the fund and met the eligibility requirements, with more than 70 having already opened a pension account. Fast Forward Foundation has introduced an additional contribution for the first 100 participants joining in 2026, supplementing the amounts already contributed by the students themselves. Among participants, 92 per cent said they intended to adopt more financially responsible behaviours.
