  • Comment: Linking to organizations that use the company's data is not ABOUT the company. You need substantial articles about the company. LaMona (talk) 01:19, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
  • Comment: Wikipedia articles about associations like this one require references so that we can assess the subject's notability. However, this article does not provide suitable references. Two of the links are primary sources, and the third (FTAdviser) does not mention Invest Europe at all, aside from one mention of their old name, which is not substantial coverage. Try to find reliable, independent (third-party) sources that discuss the subject in significant detail. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me on my talk page.

Formed in 1983, it was until 2015 known as the European Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (EVCA), before rebranding as “Invest Europe: The Voice of Private Capital” on 1 October 2015.[1]

Based in Brussels, Invest Europe's Chief Executive is Dörte Höppner[2] and the current Chairman is Max Römer.[3]

As the industry association, Invest Europe aims to make a constructive contribution to policy affecting private capital investment in Europe, providing information on its members’ role in the economy and publishing research on industry trends and developments.[4][5][6][7] It also publishes a Professional Standards Handbook, a comprehensive set of standards and guidelines for the private equity industry.[8][9]

Invest Europe's data is used by a number of institutions including the European Investment Fund.[10]
