MCI, which describes itself as the largest mid-market tech private equity fund in the CEE region, said on September 7 that it plans to invest PLN100mn-200mn (€23mn-46mn) per year in one to two new investments and pursue one to two exits from its current portfolio in the wave expected in 2026-2028.
"Central and Eastern Europe is a rapidly growing PE market in the EU, characterised by 50-100 transactions per year, the region's rapid economic growth and a wide range of investment exit opportunities. MCI plans to invest PLN100mn-200mn per year in 1-2 new investments and pursue 1-2 exits from the current portfolio," the PE firm said in its presentation.
In 2025, MCI reported a record level of exits of around PLN890mn. For 2026-2028, it plans a next wave of exits, with multiple exit routes under consideration, including PE funds, strategic investors and IPOs. Planned cash proceeds from recapitalisations exceed PLN200mn in 2026-2027.
At the end of H1 2026, the MCI Group had a diversified portfolio of eight core investments with strong growth potential and significant exposure to e-commerce and SaaS, where AI is increasingly becoming a key driver of value creation. The main contributors to Group performance in H1 2026 were Profitroom - a provider of online direct booking solutions for hotels, Webcon - a Business Process Automation provider, and eSky - a Polish online air travel agency.
In H1 2026, total equity amounted to PLN2.0bn, with MCI NAV per share at PLN38.6. Group gross assets under management reached PLN2.4bn, with further growth expected in 2026. The Group's net profit was PLN36.1mn, up from PLN34.46mn a year before, driven mainly by the result from the revaluation of investment certificates due to an increase in MCI.EV's certificate value.
MCI Capital ASI is a WSE-listed investment company making investments through a private equity new technologies fund, with a strategy focused on five major sectors: e-commerce and D2C, software and SaaS, fintech and payments, healthcare and longevity, and AI and digital native.
