It backs later- and early-growth-stage B2B technology companies with Central and Eastern European roots that are scaling globally, with a particular emphasis on US expansion, addressing the Series B+ equity gap for European scale-ups (typically €5–10M+ ARR) across enterprise software, fintech and healthtech. Cogito has raised two funds: Cogito Fund I (2019, ~€61M, anchored by the EIF and PFR) and Cogito Fund II (target €125M, first close €90M+ in 2024, with EBRD, IFC and BGK among LPs), writing cheques of €5–15M.

Cognite
Cognite is an industrial software company focused on turning fragmented operational data into usable, contextualized infrastructure for heavy industry. Its flagship platform, Cognite Data Fusion, connects information from sensors, historians, engineering systems, and industrial applications so operators can build a unified view of assets such as factories, power systems, and offshore installations. That is important because many large industrial businesses still run on disconnected legacy systems that make analytics, automation, and AI deployment slow and expensive. Cognite's value is not simply storing more data in the cloud, but making industrial data understandable enough to support digital twins, predictive maintenance, operational optimization, and safer decision-making. In the European ecosystem, Cognite represents the software layer of industrial modernization, sitting close to sectors like energy, manufacturing, and infrastructure rather than office-centric SaaS. It is therefore a strong complement to climate and industrial hardware companies already in the directory. For founders and investors, Cognite is a useful example of how enterprise software can scale by solving deep system-integration problems in high-stakes physical industries.

Collibra
Collibra is a Brussels-founded data intelligence company that became one of Europe's most important enterprise software success stories by focusing on data governance, cataloging, lineage, and trust. Its software helps large organizations understand what data they have, where it came from, who owns it, and whether it can be safely used for analytics, compliance, and AI systems. That function has become significantly more important as companies face growing regulatory pressure around privacy, AI accountability, and internal data quality. Collibra operates in the layer beneath many other modern software workflows: before a company can run serious analytics or train advanced models, it needs confidence in the underlying data estate. That makes the business strategically important to data-heavy industries such as finance, healthcare, and industrial technology. In the European ecosystem, Collibra stands out because it turned a difficult, top-down enterprise problem into a large software platform category. It is a useful addition to the directory because it represents the governance backbone that increasingly underpins other ambitious AI and data companies.
