PDENH Management Transitions to ROM InWest for Continued Sustainable Investment
Noord-Holland, Thursday, 17 April 2025.
ROM InWest steps in to manage PDENH, partnering with KplusV and StartGreen, ensuring sustainable investment continuity in Noord-Holland with over €70 million invested in green projects.
Strategic Transition and Historical Impact
The management transition comes as PDENH has operated as a closed-end fund since September 2023, focusing exclusively on follow-up investments in existing portfolio companies, managing outstanding loans, and selling participations in successful sustainable growth companies [1]. Under its management, PDENH has made remarkable strides in sustainable development, with investments totaling over €70 million in innovative and sustainable projects that have significantly impacted Noord-Holland’s green economy [1].
Measurable Environmental and Economic Impact
The fund’s portfolio companies have demonstrated substantial environmental and economic benefits. By the end of 2022, these enterprises collectively achieved nearly 900 kilotons of CO2 savings and created 566 full-time equivalent jobs [1]. Moreover, PDENH’s strategic investments have catalyzed additional capital flows, attracting more than €230 million in co-investments [1]. ROM InWest, with its team of approximately 20 professionals, brings significant expertise in managing sustainable investments since its establishment in 2021 [2].
Future Investment Strategy
ROM InWest’s management portfolio includes significant financial resources, with an MKB-fund of €60 million and a Transition Fund targeting €100 million in capital [2]. The organization’s focus aligns perfectly with PDENH’s mission, emphasizing energy transition and circular economy initiatives [2]. To ensure continuity, the current PDENH management team will remain involved during the transition phase, maintaining consistent policy implementation that has proven successful in recent years [1].
