In September, PGPE Ltd invested EUR 6.7 million, of which EUR 5.5 million was in FairJourney Biologics, a leading European antibody discovery Contract Research Organization (CRO) based in Porto, Portugal. Founded in 2012, FairJourney provides services for the discovery, engineering, production, and characterization of antibodies. FairJourney has worked with over 250 clients across the globe to develop more than 4,000 unique screening libraries for identifying antibodies. The company's partnerships with its customers have yielded 14 therapies that are currently in active clinical development to treat unmet patient needs across oncology, immunology, and cardiovascular disease. FairJourney is set to benefit from structural market tailwinds, including increased R&D spend, outsourcing trends, and a favorable regulatory landscape. Partners Group will work with management on a value creation plan for FairJourney that will expand its technology and capabilities through organic and inorganic investment to unlock faster, more effective drug development for its partners.
PGPE Ltd received distributions totaling EUR 6.3 million, with EUR 6.0 million coming from the sale of a portion of its stake in Galderma, a pure-play dermatology category leader. The shares were sold to L'Oréal, via an off-market block trade that saw the French beauty and cosmetics group invest for a 10% stake in Galderma. The two companies have also agreed on a scientific partnership to develop advanced, future-proof technologies with direct applications in the field of dermatology.
