Start-ups: Die US-Dominanz brechen: Europa will 80 Milliarden Euro für seine Tech-Firmen mobilisieren
Zuletzt stammten 43 Prozent des Wagniskapitals für deutsche Start-ups aus den USA. Ein EU-Fonds soll gegensteuern – mit Geld von Bund, Europäischer Investitionsbank und privaten Instituten.
Berlin and Brussels: The European Union plans to allocate up to 80 billion Euros to support technology start-ups across the continent. The fundraising for the European Tech Champions Initiative (ETCI 2) fund is in its crucial phase, confirmed a spokesperson for the European Investment Bank (EIB) to the Handelsblatt. The First Closing, the formal launch, is expected to take place this year.
Upon completion, the fund can commence investments, even if additional capital contributions are still possible. This is already the second ETCI fund. The first fund, ETCI 1, launched in 2023 with a total capital of 3.9 billion Euros. The capital was distributed across 15 mega-funds, each with a volume of over one billion Euros.
Germany contributed approximately one billion Euros. The second fund is expected to be significantly larger, potentially reaching a volume of up to 15 billion Euros. This will enable total investments of up to 80 billion Euros in more than 1500 growth companies across Europe.
