Founded in 2000 by Czech entrepreneurs Jan Červinka, Jan Mrázek, and Petr Jech, Adastra has grown into one of the Czech Republic’s most prominent technology firms, specializing in business intelligence, data analytics, cloud computing, and AI solutions. In 2023, the company achieved revenues of CZK 4.6 billion and a net profit of CZK 462 million.

The sale has been in preparation since October last year, with JPMorgan advising the founders throughout the process. While the exact purchase price remains undisclosed, earlier estimates valued the deal between CZK 8.4 and 10 billion.

With Carlyle’s backing, through its Europe Technology Partners V and Asia Partners Growth II funds, Adastra plans to accelerate global expansion. This will include both organic growth and targeted acquisitions in data, cloud, and AI-driven services.

Legal advisory for the transaction was provided by global law firm Dentons, covering corporate, M&A, tax, private equity, and competition matters. The deal marks the largest Czech technology acquisition announced so far in 2025.

This transaction not only strengthens Adastra’s position on the global market but also highlights the growing importance of Czech technology companies in the international arena.
