Excellence in Europe
After 30 years of hard work, private equity has finally caught on big time across Europe, becoming a major force in the innovation and corporate world. It is now a well-established industry that affects all segments, sectors, geographies, governments, and investment decisions. We can even boast that venture capital and private equity in Europe are rivaling the US in terms of performance. This 19th SECA Congress will focus on “Excellence in Europe” and help stimulate further insights and discussions on where we go from here. Please come join us!
