The #venturecapital industry in #Europe is on the rise, and the trend is expected to continue in 2023 despite the market turmoil. According to a recent report from the European Private Equity and Venture Capital Association ( Emerging Venture Capitalists Association (EVCA) ), venture capital investment in Europe reached a record high of €16.2 billion in 2022, a 34% increase compared to 2021.

As the venture capital industry continues to grow, it's important for #entrepreneurs and #investors to stay informed about the latest trends. Here are the top trends to watch in the European venture capital industry in 2023 :

• #sustainable #investments : As the world becomes more aware of the need to reduce our #carbonfootprint and address the #climatechange, more investors are looking to invest in startups that are working on solutions to these problems. This trend is expected to lead to an increase in the number of sustainable-focused venture capital funds in Europe and more investment in startups working on sustainable technologies such as #cleanenergy, #electricvehicles, and #sustainablefood production. Some of my ventures in this vertical : EcoTree France , EcoTree International , Woodlight

• #technology #startups : The number of unicorns (startups valued at $1 billion or more) in Europe has been steadily increasing in recent years, and this is expected to continue in 2023.

Some examples : Investment screening and portfolio management ( Kensho Technologies , Alphalake Ai and Services ), Deal sourcing ( Mattermark , Angelist ), Due diligence ( Intelligize , DiligenceVault , Kira Systems )

• #Geographical #diversification : The venture capital industry in Europe is expected to continue to see a geographic diversification, with new ecosystems emerging in countries like Portugal, Spain, Italy, and other countries in Eastern Europe. As these ecosystems grow, they will provide additional opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors and will further strengthen the European venture capital industry.
