Founded in 1999, zouk is an independently owned investment manager.
zouk’s first fund, European E-Commerce LP, targeted early stage investments in general technology, mostly in Europe. Through this fund, zouk became one of the first institutional investors to have invested in the carbon market and has been active in the sector since 2000.
In March 2006, zouk launched Cleantech Europe LP, an expansion stage clean technology fund, again, focused predominantly on Europe. This fund was developed to capitalise on the wealth of emerging opportunities and leverage the experience earned by zouk’s managers in European private equity and the low carbon economy.
In June 2008 zouk launched zouk Solar Opportunities Limited (“zSOL”), a closed-ended investment company. zSOL is managed by zouk and develops solar power projects in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
A unique pan-European approach has allowed them to build up a substantial network of corporate strategic partners, investors, and co-investors from Europe, U.S., the Middle East and Asia.
