The document discusses ways to attract more international investment to the EU to boost economic growth. It analyzes case studies of corporate, private, and institutional investors. A survey found that Swiss SMEs plan over 50% of foreign investments in the EU but are concerned about bureaucracy. Recommendations include reducing red tape, enhancing SME access to financing, and considering the international perspective in Capital Markets Union policies to remove obstacles preventing greater foreign investment.
The document discusses the European Union's SME Flagship initiative to support small and medium enterprises in Eastern Partnership countries. It notes that SMEs face challenges accessing finance and markets. The 2020 SME Flagship Strategy provides a strategic vision. The DCFTA Facility for SMEs will provide €200 million in grants to unlock €2 billion for SME investments in Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine, helping them seize trade opportunities and comply with regulations. It will be implemented mainly by the EBRD and EIB to support inclusive growth.

This year the Forum will focus on creativity, jobs and local development. We will examine how localities can support culture and creative industries as a source of knowledge and job creation and how the creative industry can act as a powerful driving force areas such as tourism, urban regeneration, and social inclusion.
The document discusses the growing investment transaction market in central and eastern Europe, noting that while the region generates 20% of European GDP and contains 35% of modern European office space, it only attracts 7% of total real estate investment in Europe. Major trends in 2014 included rising investment volumes across many CEE countries and a large number of office building acquisitions. Going forward, the document suggests interest may grow in secondary cities across the region as investors seek to diversify risks beyond capital cities.

The document discusses the European Investment Bank's (EIB) support for innovation in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. It notes that the EIB has provided over €14.2 billion in funding since 2002 for projects in infrastructure, SME credit lines, equity, risk capital, and microfinance. It also supports innovation through loans for technology parks and education infrastructure in countries like Tunisia, Morocco, and Jordan. The EIB provides funding for innovative SMEs through various investment funds. It is exploring new areas like partnerships with the European Space Agency and maturation funds to support technology transfer projects across a large region.
EU market opportunities for SME's have increased exponentially over the last 5 years, as the small business act has started to reduce the previously burdensome administration in the public sector, while more free trade agreements and increased communication speed has shrunk the business world to even more manageable proportions.
Ernst & Young's 2013 European attractiveness survey analyzes both the real and perceived attractiveness of Europe for foreign investment. While Europe secured 3,797 FDI projects in 2012, creating 170,434 jobs, its share of global FDI fell to 22.4% due to the prolonged Eurozone crisis impacting investor confidence. The UK and Germany remained the top destinations in Europe, capturing the most FDI projects, while Central and Eastern Europe attracted over 50% of new FDI jobs. Looking ahead, investors expect Europe's appeal to improve over the next three years if issues like economic stability, R&D and innovation, and common economic governance are addressed.
This year the Forum will focus on creativity, jobs and local development. We will examine how localities can support culture and creative industries as a source of knowledge and job creation and how the creative industry can act as a powerful driving force areas such as tourism, urban regeneration, and social inclusion.

Venture capital is an emerging industry in Central and Southeast Europe due to wars and political instability throughout the 20th century. While the region has a high potential for innovation and investment, the venture capital ecosystem remains weak. However, the environment has improved in recent years with surging purchasing power, growing managerial skills, and expanding technology infrastructure and centers. A novel venture capital firm called Eagle Ventures aims to address the region's untapped investment opportunities by focusing on former Yugoslav countries, Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania across digital media, software, electronics, and greentech sectors. Eagle Ventures has a strong team with venture capital, entrepreneurial, and technology backgrounds to take a West Coast approach to venture capital previously unseen
The document discusses perspectives on venture capital opportunities in Europe. It notes that European VC has been undervalued compared to other alternative assets but that the last two years have seen a turning point. Key investment themes for 2008-2012 include "democratization" by providing access to closed markets and tools/services affordably. While the US dominates in number of leading tech companies, Europe has encouraging prospects for VC due to talent, markets, and sectors like wireless and open source software. Challenges for Swedish startups include incentives to grow and exit but opportunities include a tech savvy population and early adoption of new technologies.
The document discusses opportunities in emerging Europe, specifically Central and Eastern Europe. It provides an overview of Karoll Capital, an investment firm that manages funds focused on emerging European stocks. Key points made include that emerging Europe is one of the fastest growing regions globally, with stock markets that still lag developed markets and offer attractive valuations. The region provides exposure to a robustly growing area with increasing integration in European and global supply chains.
The document discusses opportunities in emerging Europe, specifically Central and Eastern Europe. It provides an overview of Karoll Capital, an investment firm that manages funds focused on emerging European stocks. Emerging Europe is a growing region that offers attractive investment opportunities due to high GDP growth rates and low valuation ratios compared to other markets. The region represents a significant economic scale and its stock markets and companies still lag behind and offer catch-up potential.
The document discusses opportunities for fast-growing Central European companies on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE), including favorable macroeconomic conditions in Poland, two markets (main list and New Connect) with different financial requirements, and the WSE's support for entrepreneurship, fundraising, and innovation.
1) The European VC ecosystem is maturing, with experience, capital, talent, and successful exits growing.
2) VC funding in Europe has more than doubled since 2014 but still lags the US and Asia. Key industries like fintech, biotech and software are producing global leaders.
3) While challenges remain around fund sizes and cross-border investing, momentum in the European VC space is accelerating with rising numbers of funds and investors. Spain in particular is seeing more international money and the emergence of national champions becoming global players.

The Ukrainian Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (UVCA) and the audit and consulting company Kreston Ukraine present the “Ukraine venture capital and private equity markets 2020” annual review, which also includes data for 8 months of 2021.
According to the results of 2020, Ukrainian technology companies and their investors closed 188 deals with investors worth USD 533.5 million. About 50% of the deals are small grants (25 and 50 thousand USD) from the Ukrainian Startup Fund. For 2020—2021, it has invested USD 5.3 million in Ukrainian projects.
Just three years ago, Ukraine did not have a single unicorn among its startups. Nowadays, as many as five of them — Gitlab, Grammarly, Bitfury, People.ai, and Ring — raised USD 1.3 bln funding and dominate the global market.
In this review, we analysed the key market trends, such as “investment focus on software projects”, “increase of foreign investors in the Ukrainian market”, “growing quality of Ukrainian startups and their interest in smart money” for the first time. The key drivers and barriers to market development were identified — the respondents noted that despite the imperfect regulatory framework, the country still has enough private capital to promote the sector.
Generally, all market players are unanimous in their outlooks and are quite optimistic about further market development. According to 81% venture and 67% private equity investors surveyed, all quantitative indicators are likely to grow, and high-tech industries traditionally represent the most promising ones.
Ukrainian investors primarily point to the experience and qualification of the team (according to 94% venture and 17% private equity investors surveyed) and the market potential of the business idea (according to 82% venture and 83% private equity investors surveyed), among the key factors for investment decisions. On the other hand, when choosing an investor, startups consider their industry expertise, investment terms, and ‘smart money’ they can get.
The study results show that Ukrainian companies offer attractive, relevant, and globally competitive solutions and demonstrate sustainability and adaptability in COVID-19. Ukraine is gradually transforming from a talent and idea exporter into a big international venture capital market player.

This document discusses the role of the European Investment Bank (EIB) in financing innovation and research and development (RDI) in Europe. It notes that Europe lags behind the US and Japan in RDI investment and innovation. The EIB aims to address this gap by providing various financial instruments to support RDI, including loans, equity investments, and risk-sharing facilities. One such facility is the Risk Sharing Finance Facility (RSFF), which the EIB uses to mobilize private sector funding for RDI projects through risk-sharing arrangements. To date, the RSFF has supported over €18 billion in investments with a combined public-private contribution of €1.23 billion.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
Every business, big or small, deals with outgoing payments. Whether it’s to suppliers for inventory, to employees for salaries, or to vendors for services rendered, keeping track of these expenses is crucial. This is where payment vouchers come in – the unsung heroes of the accounting world.
Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.
