Alantra, Generali, PAI Partners, and Draycott map out Iberia’s next phase of private equity. Alantra CEO Gonzalo de Rivera y García de Leániz underlined how Iberia’s fundamentals provide an edge within Europe. The region has consistently outpaced Eurozone GDP growth, with Spain forecast at 2.5–2.7% compared to roughly 1% across the bloc. Defence, once peripheral, has moved into sharper focus as governments boost spending. While many investors face restrictions on direct exposure to arms manufacturers, opportunities are proliferating in adjacent sectors such as services, technology, and cybersecurity. As Generali’s Diego Alaimo noted, the preference is for “companies that provide services to such kind of businesses,” avoiding direct exposure while still tapping the sector’s growth.
