An international leader in infrastructure

We invest in essential infrastructure, working closely with an international network of industrial partners. We have completed a series of strategically important transactions in Europe and the Americas, becoming the second-largest owner of toll roads in the world, an airport operator serving more than 80m passengers a year, a renewable energy producer with over 8.2GW of heat & power capacity and a digital operator of more than 65,000 km of fiber network.

Our Scope

We invest in infrastructure assets across the transport, energy, renewables and digital infrastructure sectors to create a well-diversified portfolio of vital economic assets for the communities.

The team

Ardian Infrastructure has more than 70 investment professionals based in Paris, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Milan, Luxembourg, New York and Santiago de Chile. They operate as a single team on transactions across Europe and the Americas.

"Ardian is more than a financial investor in infrastructure. We have the scale and expertise of a leading industrial player, with a deep understanding of how digitalization and climate change are transforming our asset class."
