À propos
Part of the EIB Group, the mission of the European Investment Fund (EIF) is to improve access to finance for SMEs and small mid-caps in Europe. We do this by supporting emerging and established fund managers with equity investments and by designing debt financing instruments that share the risk taken by financial institutions when they lend to or invest in small businesses. We bring this support closer to entrepreneurs through our extensive network of partners and financial intermediaries in all EU Member States and associated countries.

First results from our flagship EIF #VC Survey 2024 are in! 🆕 Check the top 20 slides here for current market sentiment and outlook based on responses from 398 GPs across Europe. Top challenges (still) relate to the exit environment #IPO, difficulties around #fundraising, and the availability of #scaleup financing. Slide 6 shows an evolution of these aspects in a 3-year comparison 💡 For investment areas, a large share of VC respondents' portfolio companies are active in #AI, #Deeptech, and #Cleantech; whilst promising sectors are expected to include #biotech, #energy and #climate related solutions. ⚙️ Our surveys are conducted with the support of Invest Europe #VCF24 and include #venturecapital and #privateequity fund managers - both backed and non-backed by the EIF. This way we ensure a broad and balanced market coverage for our results - full report coming soon at #UglyDuck24. Kudos to our research teams with Helmut Kraemer-Eis, Dr., Frank Lang, Antonia Botsari, Julien Krantz and Lucrezia Lo Sordo.
