Report
‘Private Equity in CEE: Creating Value and Continued Growth’ is an in-depth study of private equity’s role in innovation and economic development across Central and Eastern Europe.
The report, whose work was led by Invest Europe’s CEE Taskforce, investigates the ongoing convergence of CEE countries with other EU regions and the investment trends that have enabled private equity to be a positive force in the region’s progress. It also highlights the industry’s role in innovation and raising ESG standards. These themes are brought to life through detailed case studies of companies backed and fully exited by private equity investors during 2015-2019.
