The Fonds France Nucléaire, through its second vehicle FFN 2 launched in 2025, invests in SMEs and midsized companies within the nuclear sector.
Initially created at the initiative of the French State and EDF, the fund’s first vintage paved the way for this second vehicle, which brings together all the major industrial players in the sector (EDF, Orano, Framatome, TechnicAtome, CEA, Andra) alongside leading institutional investors (banks, insurance companies, etc.). FFN 2 builds on the success of the first vintage, deployed over three years from early 2022, whose portfolio of 11 companies illustrates the diversity and expertise of the French nuclear ecosystem
The Fonds France Nucléaire team draws on experts with a unique combination of Private Equity and nuclear industry expertise, and benefits from the active engagement of the sector’s leading contractors and institutions.
The FFN supports companies with important expertise within the nuclear sector and that work in all sectors of activity (no minimum threshold of activity in the nuclear sector).
The fund aims to support SMEs and mid-sized companies, whether independent businesses or subsidiaries seeking to spin off from larger groups, in their development and investment projects, fostering both organic and external growth in France and internationally.
