Tikehau Capital, the global alternative asset management group, announces the acquisition of EYSA Group (“EYSA” or the “Company”), a Spanish leader in smart mobility solutions for urban and interurban areas. The investment aims to accelerate the Company’s growth and consolidate it into a global platform. The acquisition of EYSA from H.I.G. Capital (“H.I.G.”), a global alternative investment firm, will be completed through Tikehau Capital’s flagship private equity decarbonisation strategy, which supports companies advancing energy efficiency, electrification, low-carbon solutions and climate adaptation.
Founded in 1975 and headquartered in Madrid, EYSA has evolved over time into a leading and global player in the smart and sustainable solutions market. The Company’s technology-driven solutions are aimed at fostering smarter and more sustainable transportation infrastructure, while supporting the implementation of new regulation to improve traffic flows, reduce carbon emissions and enhance road safety.
David Martín, Co-Head of Tikehau Capital Iberia, said: “The acquisition of EYSA strengthens Tikehau Capital’s presence in the Iberian Peninsula through a private equity investment that is fully aligned with our thematic decarbonisation strategy. Our role is to enable the next stage of growth, supporting EYSA’s international expansion by providing capital, sector expertise and a network of industrial alliances. Tikehau Capital seeks to partner with companies like EYSA, which have a proven value proposition, a solid management team and a clear ambition towards transformation.”
Pierre Abadie and Mathieu Badjeck, Co-Heads of Tikehau Capital’s Private Equity Decarbonisation Strategy, added: “Our investment in EYSA reflects our commitment to supporting companies leading the low-carbon transition. EYSA exemplifies the kind of asset we seek – impactful, scalable and aligned with key societal shifts. Its positioning as a smart mobility platform enables it to play a meaningful role in transforming urban transport infrastructure, reducing emissions and improving operational efficiency. With over 55% of the global population living in cities today — a number projected to reach 70% by 20502 — optimising urban mobility is critical.”
Javier Delgado, CEO of EYSA, commented: “We are proud of the transformation journey EYSA has undertaken in recent years, consolidating our position as a reference player in smart mobility solutions with a growing international footprint. We are excited to embark on this new chapter alongside Tikehau Capital, a partner whose strategic vision and long-term commitment to decarbonisation are fully aligned with our roadmap to building more sustainable and efficient mobility solutions. With their support, we are confident in our ability to continue innovating and expanding our capabilities organically or through strategic acquisitions to accelerate our international growth and continue positioning EYSA as a leading global smart mobility solutions provider.”
Andrew Liau, Head of Europe Infrastructure at H.I.G., commented: “The EYSA team has done an outstanding job transforming the Company from a single-market operator to a global platform and leader in the sustainable mobility solutions space.”

BuiltAPI GmbH, the company pioneering API-driven data infrastructure for real estate investment and asset management, has successfully closed its latest funding round backed by industry leaders including Second Century Ventures, TDS, and Propertymark.

“We’re building the backbone of real estate data infrastructure,” said Olga Dentzel, Co-Founder of BuiltAPI. “This funding and the support of the REACH UK program are accelerating our ability to deliver secure, scalable integrations to clients across borders.”
BuiltAPI’s technology is already making an impact with major real estate institutions such as HIH Real Estate and its fund service platform INTREAL, through their digital unit INTREAL Solutions. These collaborations highlight a shared vision for practical and scalable digital transformation in real estate asset and investment management.
“The industry doesn’t need yet another tool — it needs a connective tissue,” added Ivan Nokhrin, Co-Founder of BuiltAPI. “Our mission is to empower real estate professionals to access, share, and act on their data securely and without barriers.”
Graduation from the REACH UK Accelerator — the scale-up program backed by Second Century Ventures – marks BuiltAPI’s official entry into the UK market. The program has played a key role in unlocking investors support and refining BuildAPI’s growth trajectory.
