Eric De Montgolfier
CEO, Invest Europe
We are delighted to share our past successes each year. But, as the title of our agenda Forward suggests, Invest Europe is constantly looking to the future. We are focused on key challenges – such as climate change and the drive to net zero, or AI and digitalisation – and how to transform those into opportunities for our members. A stronger Europe needs the collaboration of the private capital industry if we are to meet all our shared goals.

Our conferences and networking events provide an exclusive, non-commercial setting for open and balanced LP-GP engagement.
