What is the EDC?
The EDC is the most comprehensive database of European private equity statistics. The EDC replaces Invest Europe’s previous database PEREP_Analytics. All relevant historical data from PEREP was migrated to the EDC system in 2016.
Basis of reporting
All data since 2007 was restated and complemented with additional information. Audit efforts are conducted in close coordination with data contributors and partnering national associations to ensure the best coverage and consistent application of methodology and definitions.
Invest Europe processes all information at the data cut-off time to produce its annual statistics. Any differences between Invest Europe’s statistics and those of other associations in the EDC may be related to different reporting approaches, restatements and data cut-off timings.
The most recent data publications are always available on Invest Europe’s website www.investeurope.eu/research
Invest Europe members and data contributors are eligible to receive dedicated research and data support from our research team.
