Croatian Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (CVCA) joins the industry initiative led by Invest Europe and supported by national associations to condemn Russia attacks on Ukraine. We stand fully in support of the Ukrainian people. As with our fellow industry counterparts, we are profoundly saddened by the tragic loss of life and human suffering in Ukraine. To help, we would like to join Invest Europe initiative in supporting the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC) work on the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. Find out more at ICRC website.
Europe’s private equity and venture capital industry are more than just observers of political events: we are investors, partners to entrepreneurs, employers, and a continuous force for growth in markets and people. Security, predictability and accountability are the cornerstones of a vibrant private equity and venture capital market, framed by the laws and regulations in which the market operates, as part of global value-chains. From a narrow – and in these early days barely relevant – industry perspective, we are saddened to see a blooming economy, private equity and venture market in Ukraine wilt under the weight of war.
We stand behind the people of Ukraine. We stand together as an industry.
