European Commission publishes the impact of the past 10 editions of the European Tech Investment Forum

Access to finance continues to be an obstacle for Europe's innovative technology companies, despite the short-lived "dot-com" boom. European entrepreneurs still face fragmented and varying European financial markets, leaving them at a competitive disadvantage. This is especially true for the new Member States where the capital markets are immature. Therefore, most ambitious technology entrepreneurs must seek funding across Europe if they care to raise capital in sufficient amounts from resourceful investors. The required cross-border search clearly increases costs, legal and financial risks and the time-to-market.
