Financing Entrepreneurial Ventures in Europe: Impact on innovation, employment growth, and competitiveness
The
project aims to provide a better understanding of the impact of venture capital
and private equity financing on the economic performance of innovative
entrepreneurial ventures in Europe, as
reflected in innovation rates, employment creation, growth, and
competitiveness. Furthermore, it extends our understanding of the factors that
influence the demand for and the supply of venture capital and private equity
financing in European countries, at both micro and macro level. It addresses
specific issues that are generally considered crucial for the development of
the European venture capital and private equity sector but are so far under
researched, namely i) the influence of the characteristics of the investor and
the invested firm on exit mechanisms, ii) the internationalization of venture
capital and private equity investors and the integration of the venture capital
and private equity sector at European level, and iii) the policy mix to target
seed and pre-seed capital and to attract investors towards early stage
companies.
