Former Minister of Economic Affairs Habeck becomes adviser to investment company

Former German Vice Chancellor and Minister of Economics, Robert Habeck, has joined the Danish investment firm Urban Partners as a senior advisor. This move comes shortly after the dissolution of the Ampel coalition and following his resignation from parliament in September 2025. Habeck’s role will focus on advancing the company’s research activities in urban development and exploring how private capital can support affordable housing in rapidly growing urban areas. Urban Partners, which manages over €25 billion in assets, highlights Habeck’s experience in public service and sustainability. The appointment follows a mandatory disclosure period for former politicians seeking employment outside the public sector.
