Private equity is a cornerstone of Europe’s economy and society. Over the past four decades, European private equity and venture capital has grown from a niche segment of the finance industry into a central element of Europe’s efficient capital markets and its healthy asset management universe.
Invest Europe has been at the industry’s side every step of the way, educating, informing, and safeguarding the industry’s reputation, while providing a forum for practitioners to meet and learn.
On the occasion of the 40th Anniversary of the organization, Invest Europe members and business leaders answer three questions about the past, present and future of the industry.
