EVCA Venture Capital Forum – Key Takeaways
Thursday, November 6 | Berlin, Germany
The Venture Capital Forum was very well attended with almost a third more participants than last year. VCs are increasingly optimistic as exit prospects look promising and ever larger numbers of European VC-backed companies are growing to become €1bn+ businesses. Participants reported more growth capital coming into the market and a rise in corporate venturing, but the two most pressing issues for many remain: a) a lack of later stage funding for startups; and b) the need for more private capital to flow towards venture capital funds. Overall, the sentiment was that the European industry still lags the US, but is becoming increasingly sophisticated. There are now many more serial entrepreneurs to back and growing levels of seed financing, all of which demonstrates that the European VC ecosystem is coming of age.
In honour of the forum, Coller Institute of Venture and EVCA created a special edition of Venture Findings Issue 1, which was made available to all participants. This publication can be viewed here.

TAU 2014 Academic Workshop on Entrepreneurship and Innovation
Monday, June 16 – Saturday, June 21, 2014| Tel Aviv, Israel
The Tel Aviv University Business School, in cooperation with the Israel Institute (http://www.israelinstitute.org) and the Coller Institute of Venture at TAU (), hosted a special program for leading academics from around the world on innovation and entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurship and innovation have come to be regarded as integral parts of the Israeli economic mindset, and the many successful IPOs and M&A transactions of Israeli start-up companies have turned Israel into a Startup Nation and a world leader in a wide spectrum of high-tech areas. The purpose of the workshop was to provide leading academics from around the world that focus their research on innovation and entrepreneurship with an opportunity to explore the academic and practical perspectives of the Startup Nation and understand the dynamics of the Israeli entrepreneurial and innovation environment.
Many factors can be said to have led to Israel’s high-tech success, some of which have to do with the lack of natural resources and heavy industry, Israel’s special security needs and the so-called collective Israeli personality – ingenious, tough and adaptive. All of these, as well as other factors have been discussed in the workshop.
