The alignment offered by the pevc model aligning the stakeholders so the the LPS the GPS and the portfolio companies that this is a key to the success. I think of the industry as opposed to the public equity model to develop new technologies to the benefit of mankind, helping entrepreneurs to develop in our case new medicines. What people don't realize for instance is that 80 of newly marketed medicines by Pharma originate from the Biotech Industry and also Europe has a major role to play there. We could just do with a bit more growth capital as well as public capital so that is definitely a point of attention. I think we can create a major societal impact not just in health but also in areas like energy transition, cleaning, and feeding our planet and it's also important to make this impact visible by measuring specific kpis and reporting on these such that ultimately we'll be able to mobilize more capital for European PC and I think this is how our industry can help to shape a better tomorrow.
