As fundamental pillars for financing the real economy, venture and growth capital funds support the Union’s strategic initiatives throughout the entire business lifecycle. Only by ensuring a steady flow of capital can innovative companies scale up in the market and create new jobs within the EU, bridging the global competitiveness gap.
In this context, the European Commission has launched two initiatives to collect stakeholder input on the review of the EuVECA regulation (European Venture Capital Fund) and the AIFMD (Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive), to determine whether they are still fit for a rapidly evolving sector.
The feedback collected will support Brussels’ policy activities within the Capital Markets Union and the Startup and Scaleup Strategy, particularly to support efforts to improve access to finance for innovative companies in the EU.
