Projency is a founder-led investment platform that has been active for many years in four countries — Germany, Poland, Ukraine, and the United Arab Emirates. In every one of these markets we operate through experienced local teams with deep industry expertise, established networks, and a long track record of executing transactions and running operating companies on the ground.
In Germany we invest in energy, AI-driven transformation of established service businesses, and industrial trading products — backed by decades of operational depth in the industrial Mittelstand. In Poland we have built a strong position in real estate development, logistics, and energy, complemented by AI-driven disruption of service industries, with a local team rooted in the market for years. In Ukraine we are actively positioning for the reconstruction through industrial parks, real estate, logistics, agriculture, food processing, and energy — with our own people in Kyiv and Rivne and structured project pipelines ready for co-investors. In the United Arab Emirates, Dubai is the operational headquarters of our group and a market we know inside out, with established activities in real estate, logistics, and AI-driven business models.
We invest our own capital first. Selected transactions are opened to a closed network of co-investors. Across the platform, artificial intelligence is a core operating capability and a central source of value creation — most notably in the disruption of established service industries, where we see substantial upside for our co-investors.
Our platform concentrates on six sectors where we bring operational depth and where we see substantial value-creation potential over the coming cycle.
The reconstruction of Ukraine and the AI-driven disruption of established service industries are the two themes where we see the greatest value-creation potential for our co-investors. We continuously prepare individual projects along both of these axes.
Across our four markets, the single lever with the greatest untapped value-creation potential is the application of artificial intelligence to established service businesses. We bring this capability into every relevant transaction — not as an external consultant, but as an embedded operating capability within the Projency group.
Our investment strategy follows a simple logic: in each of our four countries we invest in the sectors where we have our own operational depth, local teams, and robust networks.
Germany is the home market of our network and our depth in the industrial Mittelstand. We invest in decentralised energy projects and companies, in the acquisition and AI-driven transformation of established service businesses, and in industrial trading products with European reach.
Poland has been home territory for us for many years. Our residential development team is deeply rooted in the local market, with an extensive pipeline in high-growth urban centres and long-standing relationships with authorities, banks, and construction partners. Poland is an established earnings pillar of our platform, not an emerging market bet. Beyond real estate, we invest in logistics infrastructure along the new European supply chain corridors, in energy projects aligned with the structural transition from coal to renewables, and in AI-driven transformation of established Polish service businesses.
Ukraine is one of our strategically most important themes. We are actively positioning for the reconstruction — with our own team in Kyiv and Rivne, legally prepared structures, and a pipeline of individual projects continuously opened to co-investors. Our approach is structured, not speculative: local entities, prepared DFI financing pathways (EBRD, IFC, KfW, EIB), and war-risk insurance structures. Co-investors do not enter raw projects; they enter prepared structures.
Dubai is the operational headquarters of our group and a market we have worked in for years. Our local real estate team knows the market inside out — in acquisition, refurbishment, short- and long-term rental, and brokerage. We provide our co-investors with curated access to on- and off-market opportunities that are not reachable from the outside. Beyond real estate, we invest in logistics infrastructure serving MENA trade and in AI-driven disruption of established service businesses. Our governance from the UAE simultaneously functions as a capital bridge between the Gulf region, Europe, and Ukraine.
We are not a fund. We structure investments deal by deal. Each transaction stands on its own — with its own structure, time horizon, and risk logic. Co-investors are invited into deals in which Projency has already committed substantial equity.
Our distinctive strength is the combination of geographical depth across four complementary markets, sectoral specialisation, and our own AI capability. Co-investors gain access to opportunities that — without local presence — are simply not reachable from the outside.
We work with family offices, institutional investors, development finance institutions, and strategic industry partners. Our co-investors share three attributes: a long-term horizon, an industrial mindset beyond pure financial logic, and active interest in the four markets where we operate.
Submit an enquiryProjency is a community of investors and entrepreneurs. Our partners and collaborators come almost without exception from operational advisory work with the industrial Mittelstand and from actively building, leading, and optimising their own companies. We have restructured balance sheets, negotiated procurement processes, guided production relocations, replaced managing directors, and negotiated exits. We know what a mid-sized company looks like from the inside because we have actually worked inside dozens of them.
This operational DNA is the real reason our investments are structured differently. We do not buy companies we have evaluated from the outside — we buy companies whose levers we know from our own experience. We do not develop real estate that we commission consultants for — we develop real estate because our partners have built, converted, and sold real estate. We do not build industrial parks for which we commission studies — we build them because we know the supply chains that will move in.
Hands-on is not a marketing term for us; it is a method. After every acquisition or project start our partners are operationally present — as managing directors, advisory board members, interim COOs, or sparring partners to local leadership. We steer, we challenge, we support, and we deliver the promised value creation together with the teams.
Projency is a group of entrepreneurs, investors, and operators who invest and build together. Our partners lead the activities in Germany, Poland, Ukraine, and the United Arab Emirates — with broad autonomy in their respective markets and sectors, and clear accountability for results. The partner circle is complemented by an extended network of experienced operators — managing directors, CFOs, plant managers, procurement directors, developers, lawyers, and AI specialists — whom we deploy on a project-specific basis. Taken together, the team brings several hundred years of combined industrial and services experience.
Marc is one of the founding partners of the Projency group and, within the partnership, the primary public face of the firm — towards investors, partners, and media. Within the group his focus is on shared strategic direction, investor relations, and portfolio-level steering across our four core markets.
He brings over 25 years of experience in procurement, operational Mittelstand advisory, and company leadership. In that time he has built, scaled, and sold companies in the DACH region, supported numerous mid-sized businesses through transformation processes, and built an international network of operators and industrial leaders. As a regular author and LinkedIn publisher he writes on supply chain risk, Ukraine investment, manufacturing relocation, and the structural changes that AI is triggering in industrial service sectors.
