Invest Europe
Invest Europe is a trade association representing Europe's private equity, venture capital and infrastructure sectors, as well as their investors.
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 Michael Collins[2] and the current chairman is Gerry Murphy.[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]
The association hosts annual industry events in Europe, including an Investors' Forum.[10]
Invest Europe's data is used by a number of institutions including the European Investment Fund[11] and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.[12]
