Abstract

Innovative firms in Europe face significant problems in accessing the funding they need to start, grow and compete on global markets. European firms (especially SMEs) turn mostly to banks to obtain external finance and only in limited cases to alternative sources of financing - such as venture capital funds. But despite the venture capital funds have become increasingly important; this external source of funding still remains fragile. Therefore, the venture capital industry imposes the removal of the existing obstacles to cross-border investments within Europe so that the sector could exploit the opportunities that are available within European firms
