Abstract: This report provides an analysis of the current financial and techno-economic landscape in Europe,with a specific focus on the role of public organizations investing in innovative companies. While theprimary focus is on equity-based instruments, the report addresses the interplay between equityfinancing and complementary financial instruments, as well as factual challenges to put them intopractice. It contributes to the understanding of Europe’s complex funding landscape, particularlyfrom the angle of public funding bodies. It examines the mandate and activities of governmentalventure capital organizations within the broader venture capital ecosystem. Drawing on empiricalevidence, the report highlights key challenges faced by Governmental Venture Capital (GovVC)initiatives and explores potential avenues for improvement. The report is sustained by the outcomesof a workshop held in Seville that brought together experts and practitioners who share experiencesand best practices on government-backed initiatives.
