The firm confirmed it was carrying out pre-marketing for Ambienta II to NewNet in September 2012.
The investor has its headquarters in Milan and opened a hub in Germany last year.
Last year, it also brought in venture specialist and former Siemens Venture Capital executive Rudolf Ohnesorge to run its German branch and he told NewNet the fund would look to capitalise on the firm’s now pan-European capability.
