Venture Capital and Private Equity in Europe
About this Content
2021 had been a blockbuster year for private equity (PE) and venture capital (VC) funds across Europe. With a record number of deals, and an equally soaring level of exit activity, the global pandemic has acted as a stimulus for a new era of growth within private capital markets across Europe and other developed markets. To recalibrate towards continued growth, portfolio resilience, heightened multiples and renewed global investor confidence, it is also a time for transformation within the industry. The PE funds which embrace new business models, clearly define their sectoral focus, prioritize deep industry-know-how within their teams, and place value-creation at their core will continue to reap the benefits of the current booming environment and will have an advantage to gain access to highly competitive deals.
