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 as the European Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (EVCA), it rebranded as Invest Europe on 1 October 2015.

Based in Brussels, Invest Europe's Chief Executive is Michael Collins and the current Chair is Marta Jankovic, an expert in ESG for European pension fund APG.

As the industry association, Invest Europe contributes 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. It also publishes a Professional Standards Handbook, a comprehensive set of standards and guidelines for the private equity industry.

The association hosts annual industry events in Europe, including the Investors' Forum in Geneva, as well as coordinating Invest Week in Brussels, which brings together investors, entrepreneurs and policymakers.

Invest Europe's data is used by a number of institutions including the European Investment Fund and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
