The close of Fund VI follows a strong period for Highland Europe, including more than €1 billion of liquidity generated during 2026. Recent portfolio milestones include the $3 billion sale of Nexthink, the agreed sale of Huel to Danone, the $7.5 billion merger of EGYM and Playlist, and Bending Spoons’ Nasdaq listing with a market capitalisation of over $18 billion.

Ronan Shally, CFO at Highland Europe, said: "The successful close of Fund VI reflects the continued confidence our investors place in Highland Europe and our strategy of backing exceptional growth-stage technology companies across Europe. As we continue to scale our platform, trusted partners are essential. Aztec Group has been a valued partner since our first fund, combining deep technical expertise with a responsive approach that has helped support our growth over the past 14 years."
This close of Highland Europe’s Fund VI is the latest in a series of significant fundraises supported by Aztec Group, including NextEnergy Capital's US$974 million close of NextPower V, reinforcing Aztec's position as a partner of choice for private markets managers seeking specialist, scalable support across the fund lifecycle.
