Director of SMEs and Entrepreneurship, DI - Dansk Industri/Confederation of Danish Industry
The European Investment Fund on a mission to build a scale up ecosystem to protect EU tech sovereignty 🚀 That was one of the issues that Emil Fannikke Kiær and I had the opportunity to discuss with Marjut Falkstedt, Alessandro Tappi, Graham Cope and Daragh Brown from the European Investment Fund (EIF). EIF is the largest player in Europe, when it comes to investments within venture capital and private equity. Denmark has a challenge when it comes to holding on to our scaleups and unicorns. One of the explanations is the lack of later stage funding - financing rounds of +50m Euro - in the Danish market. Therefore it is very good news that EIF is taking up the challenge with the intention of building up a market for later stage funding by investing in European scaleup-funds. We hope this will result in establishment of a Danish scaleup-fund 💰 Also we had the opportunity to share our views on other important topics. In general there is need for bettering the access to risk capital, e.g. within development of new green technologies as deep tech and biosolutions. The time horizon is typically longer for these kind of investments as larger ticket sizes are needed. Diversity among investors and a more equal allocation of investments between female and male founders is on of EIF's priorities. Very aware of their role and opportunities to influence the investor environment in becoming more diverse. The EIF has a special eye on the Danish market and we look forward to a good collaboration on how to support Danish startups and SMEs in the best way 🌱
