Context

EMK Capital has signed a binding agreement to acquire a majority stake in Project Informatica from HIG Europe, ending the latter's five-year investment cycle. The strategic rationale for the transaction is to support the next phase of the group's evolution within the rapidly consolidating Italian ICT services market. HIG and the existing management team will reinvest alongside EMK to maintain leadership continuity and capitalize on the group’s established reputation as a leading system integrator. The partnership aims to accelerate the group’s expansion into advanced technological services and further strengthen its leadership position through the continued integration of specialized digital capabilities. This transition marks the shift from a successful build-up phase under previous ownership to a large-scale consolidation strategy intended to broaden the range of solutions provided to a growing base of public and private sector clients.
