Blu Capital Partners (BCP), a leading independent investment banking advisory firm and Romania’s exclusive member of M&A Worldwide (MAWW), announces the strategic merger of its Energy & Infrastructure vertical with the former Central and Eastern Europe team of Finergreen, a renowned Paris-based renewable energy advisory boutique.

This is the first time in Romania when two independent investment banking advisory firms join forces to build a transactions-focused team that surpasses the size of any traditional bank’s or accounting firm’s investment banking advisory division. By number of bankers dedicated to M&A and financing deals BCP is now the largest Romanian player.

BCP expects to close another 5 transactions by the end of 2025 and more than 10 transactions in 2026 including full sales, partial sales, equity injections, debt financing, refinancing, and others. In BCP’s transactions, approximately 80% of investors continue to be foreign, while around 20% are local.

“This merger is a natural step in our growth strategy. By combining our local leadership with a team specialized in the energy sector in Eastern Europe, we are now stronger, more connected, and better equipped to serve the evolving needs of our clients and investors, including in the energy transition sector”, says Dragos Tudose, Managing Director at and Co-Head of Energy & Infrastructure Blu Capital Partners.

BCP continues to focus on its core advisory lines – M&A advisory, financing & strategic advisory, and valuation – driving impactful outcomes for clients navigating complex transactions and strategic decisions. BCP notes that clients not working with a top-tier investment banking advisory firm risk leaving 20-30% of a transaction’s value on the table.
