Download or read book Venture Capital in Europe written by Harry Cowie and published by Federal Trust. This book was released on 1999 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe's future success will depend on the integration and liquidity of its venture capital market and the inventiveness and management of its hi-tech industries. But Europe's venture capital market is dwarfed by that one of the USA, and its employment performance continues to be disappointing, small and medium sized businesses find it difficult to grow. At the worst, European entrepreneurs are faced with scepticism and ignorance in the banking sector, a lack of stock options, unreasonable legal and bureaucratic obstacles, a high cost of labour, unhelpful government agencies and unsympathetic tax authorities. To stimulate a wiedr debate on these issues, the federal trust set up an eminent international study group chaired by Sir Brian Corby. The rapporteur is Harry Cowie, Senior Research Fellow of the Federal Trust. The report analyses the problems faced by European entrepreneurs, and ask how it is possible to grow global companies in Europe. The study group examined the fiscal, economic, regulatory and cultural obstacles to the development of a truly integrated European capital market. It looks at the role of The European union institutions, and at the clusters of hi-tech success in Cambridge and Munich. Venture Capital in Europe makes wide-ranging proposals to foster entrepreneurship and facilitate the provision of venture capital. The report will be read widely by corporate strategies and public policy makers and students and practitioners of European union affairs and international economics.

Book excerpt: This study systematically documents the perceptions of LPs, venture capitalists and entrepreneurs and their views of the trends and challenges facing the European venture capital market. The interest from LPs in European venture capital funds was found to be neutral to marginally negative because of historical returns. However, buoyancy in the supply of high quality opportunities at reasonable valuations has the potential to improve this outlook. The findings suggest that European venture capitalists still face structural barriers in the form of heterogeneous consumer preferences, improving but weak exit and fundraising environments, and the scarcity of LPs of significant size. The study revealed that successful venture capitalists tended to build scaleable businesses, either global or European which improve the potential for returns. In addition to having an aspiration to build global companies, venture capitalists with entrepreneurial, industry and investment experience with access to a rich professional network were top performers.

Download or read book The Origins of Europe s New Stock Markets written by Elliot Posner and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-02-15 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1995 and 2007, financial elites in more than a dozen western European countries engaged in a cross-border battle to create some twenty new stock markets, many of which were explicitly modeled on the American Nasdaq. The resulting high-risk, high-reward markets facilitated wealth creation, rewarded venture capitalists, and drew major U.S. financial players to Europe. But they also chipped away at the European social compacts between national governments and citizens, opening the door of smaller company finance to the broad trend of marketization and its bounties, and further subjecting European households and family businesses to the rhythms of global capital. Elliot Posner explores the causes of Europe’s emergence as a global financial power, addressing classic and new questions about the origins of markets and their relationship to politics and bureaucracy. In doing so, he attributes the surprising large-scale transformation of Europe’s capital markets to the rise of the European Union as a global political force. The effect of Europe’s financial ascendance will have major ramifications around the world, and Posner’s analysis will push market participants, policymakers, and academics to rethink the sources of financial change in Europe and beyond.
Download or read book Stepping Up Venture Capital to Finance Innovation in Europe written by Mr. Nathaniel G Arnold and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2024-07-12 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relative to the US, productivity growth and investment in R&D in lagging in the EU, where it is more difficult to finance and scale up promising, innovative startups. Many of the most successful EU startups move elsewhere for financing, causing the EU to lose out on both the direct growth benefits and positive spillovers from these innovative firms. The EU could nurture innovative startups by accelerating the development of its venture capital (VC) ecosystem. Reducing regulatory frictions, especially ones that deter pensions funds and insurers from investing in VC, combined with well-designed tax incentives for R&D investments could help accelerate the development of the VC sector. These and other key CMU initiatives, such as the consolidation of stock markets and reforming and harmonizing insolvency regimes, will take time. Given the urgency to boost innovation, giving public financial institutions like the European Investment Fund a more active and expanded role in kickstarting VC markets where needed and in familiarizing investors with the VC asset class can be a helpful interim step.

Book excerpt: Over the past 25 years, the USA has pioneered a new technological revolution, based on large numbers of new small enterprises, financed by a dynamic venture (risk) capital market. The European Union, meanwhile, has lagged behind in this sector of economic activity, and compared to the US innovative small and medium enterprises appear to find it more difficult to get started and grow. At a time when regional and local banking systems - traditionally major sources of capital for small and medium sized enterprises across Europe - are undergoing intense reorganisation and restructuring, the European Commission considers the development of a substantial risk capital market to be a key condition for closing the `enterprise gap` with the US. While the venture capital industry is much less developed in Europe than it is in the US, nevertheless it has recently experienced a marked increase in activity. But whereas the European Commission argues that venture capital activity needs to be much more regionally clustered if it is to emulate the US experience, the OECD and some EU member states have argued for a more even regional distribution. The aim of the paper is to chart the growth and geographical anatomy of the emerging European venture capital market, and to examine its spatial development and regional implications in the context of these somewhat opposing views.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the recent trends in the venture capital (VC) market in the European Union (EU). In particular, it investigates and documents the characteristics of VC transactions, venture capitalists and VC-backed firms in the context of EU small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). In recent years, the European Commission has devoted increasing attention to this area through relevant policy actions aiming to stimulate the adoption of different sources of external financing available to SMEs that face barriers to more traditional financing. In particular, the 2015 capital markets union (CMU) action plan included among its key objectives the financing of innovation, start-ups and non-listed companies, including by supporting new VC investments. Moreover, the new 2020 CMU action plan further incentivises the adoption of alternative sources of funding for SMEs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arnd Plagge evaluates public policy for venture capital in the USA and Germany and presents a comprehensive study of the American and the German market for venture capital. He shows that current German public policies aimed at fostering venture capital activity are severely flawed and that only a reversal of priorities, away from supply-side policies towards a demand-oriented stance, will yield real payoffs.
