EIG, a leading institutional investor in the global energy and infrastructure sectors, today announced the final close of EIG Senior Infrastructure Debt Fund VI (“SIDF VI”) at $1.9 billion, nearly double the size of its predecessor fund.

CoreTrust Expands International Presence, Extends Global Procurement Platform Across Europe9.9.2026 15:00:00 EEST | Press release
CoreTrust, a premier group purchasing organization (GPO) with more than 20 years of leveraging data-driven procurement intelligence and $7 billion in aggregated spend, today announced the expansion of CoreTrust Europe and its procurement platform to the United Kingdom and key European markets, including France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland. While members can enroll when headquartered in these seven markets, CoreTrust’s supplier partners deliver negotiated coverage that reaches members well beyond them. This strategic international expansion answers direct demand from CoreTrust’s private equity partners and multinational members to extend the company’s proven model into large, still-underserved European markets — the same demand-led path CoreTrust has followed for nearly two decades in the United States. CoreTrust Europe features nine trusted supplier partners across core indirect spend categories — including Dell, FedEx, and Lyreco, among others — enabling

Bracco Imaging, a global pharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures, and markets innovative healthcare solutions, today announced the expansion of its BubbleGen™ cell selection portfolio with the launch of the BubbleGen CD3+ T Cell Selection Kit.
