Permira has announced a strategic investment in Quadrante, marking the firm’s second acquisition under its Energy Transition strategy. The move follows a recent stake in CDP, the worldwide environmental disclosure platform, as Permira builds a portfolio focused on clean‑energy infrastructure.

Quadrante, founded in 1998, delivers asset‑light engineering services across renewables, transmission, sustainable cities and mobility. With more than 1,500 professionals, it operates in over 20 countries, including Portugal, Spain, Brazil and Mexico, and plans to deepen support for its blue‑chip clients while expanding into the United States. The firm will harness AI to sharpen its久草 offerings, positioning itself as a globally diversified partner for the transition.

The transaction also signals an exit for Henko Partners, which will remain a co‑investor alongside Permira. Quadrante’s deep technical expertise, strong customer relationships and clear growth vision align with Permira’s criteria for Energy Transition investments.

For investors, the deal underscores a trend toward consolidated engineering expertise in the energy transition arena. The added capital and AI focus should accelerate Quadrante’s international rollout, creating new revenue streams and reinforcing demand for critical infrastructure services across emerging markets.
