- Amper continues to advance its commitment towards the development and safeguarding of strategic capabilities for the Defence sector.
- Hyperion is an initiative aimed at investing in advanced dual-use defence and security, aerospace, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence technologies.
Madrid, 9th January 2025 – Amper’s investment in Hyperion reinforces its Strategic and Transformation Plan 2023-2026, focused on the growth of its Defence, Security, and Communications Business Unit and positioning in its key markets.
The Hyperion investment fund’s mission is to support the growth of key technology companies in the defence sector in Spain and other allied countries, facilitating their access to capital and strategic opportunities in a global environment marked by increasing defence investment.
Its investment strategy, with minority stakes, can provide Amper a partner to support the company’s planned investments for inorganic growth in the defence sector.
The fund has the backing of institutional investors and the participation of major national and international industrial players. This collaboration therefore also facilitates the consolidation of strategic relationships between public and private actors in the field of European defence and security.
The target size of the fund is €150 million, with an expected duration of 10 extendable years, and an estimated average investment size of €10 million, with a minimum investment of €1 million. The fund’s target return (gross IRR) is 25%.
Enrique López, CEO of Amper Group states: ” The participation in Hyperion is aligned with the objectives defined in our strategic plan. This collaboration allows us to drive the development of critical capabilities, as well as the organisation and structuring of the Defence sector, with our focus on innovation and technological sovereignty. It will also contribute to accelerating our growth and complementing our strategic capabilities and solutions in an increasingly demanding global environment”.
