It invests at the growth and scale-up stages in tech and media companies, with a mandate that bridges Portugal and Central Europe and a strong connection to Hungary. Alpac Capital has made 12 investments with two exits, and its portfolio includes Euronews (98% control), 4iG, Codevision, Biometrid, DreamShaper and Adria News Network (sale agreed with United Group in May 2026).
