Kos Biotechnology Partners: Fund Up to €150M for Biotech

Kos Biotechnology Partners, the first Greek investment fund exclusively focused on life sciences, launched in 2025 with initial capital of €40 million and a target size of up to €150 million. The fund has already made its first investment and is planning new moves, focusing on early-stage companies with an international outlook. Founders are Simos Symeonidis and Alexandros Tzoukas, with years of experience from Wall Street. The Hellenic Development Bank of Investments (HDBI) is the main investor. The fund's strategy involves initial investments of €2-7 million per company. The first investment was made in Epikast, a pharmaceutical services company. The founders believe that Greece has potential in the life sciences sector, particularly in pharmaceutical services and data analytics.
