LAUNCHED TODAY 🚀

Invest Europe’s data on fundraising, investments and divestments is the most authoritative and comprehensive study on private equity (including listed PE), growth and venture capital activity in Europe. Last year, fundraising and investments rose as market activity continued to recover across the continent.

For the first time, our annual Private Equity Activity report has been expanded to include data on continuation funds.

Key highlights:
🔹€147bn raised – up 16% year-on-year, the second highest on record
🔹€135bn invested – also the second strongest year to date
🔹Buyout fundraising reached €103bn, supported by renewed North American investor demand
🔹Venture capital investment totalled €20bn – 20% above the five-year average and divestments – across Europe from 2007 to the present day.

📰 Europe can still win in AI despite US dominance, says @Skype co-founder

@nzennstrom of @atomico, an @InvestEuropeEU member, believes Europe’s start-ups can still succeed in AI despite their huge funding gap with US rivals by building on top of existing LLMs, and argues that “it’s a European problem to [just] talk about the problem” when there is so much data showing how the continent is catching up.
