Tikehau Capital, the global alternative asset manager, today completes the acquisition by Safran of its stake in Preligens, a world leader in artificial intelligence (AI) for aerospace and defence, for an enterprise value of €220 million. Following an exclusive negotiation process that began in June 2024, Tikehau Capital is selling its stake in Preligens to Safran.

Founded in 2016 by two French engineers, Preligens provides field-proven Artificial Intelligence (AI) analysis solutions for high-end imagery, full-motion video and acoustic signals.

Tikehau Capital’s investment in November 2020 has played a key role in accelerating the growth of Preligens, which has increased revenues tenfold (from €3 million to nearly €30 million), expanded operations in the US and Asia, and now employs around 250 people, including 140 R&D engineers. This sale is the first divestment of Brienne III, the first vintage of the Group’s private equity strategy dedicated to cybersecurity. This strategy has raised almost 4001million euros over its two vintages and has now invested 150 million euros in 16 companies including Trustpair, Chapsvision and Egerie in France and VMRay in Germany. This transaction generates a MOIC of 2.4x and a gross IRR of 30.4%2. 1Brienne III raised €175 million, making it Europe’s largest fund dedicated to cybersecurity. The next vintage announced a closing of €200 million in October 2023, exceeding the final size of the predecessor fund.
