Pan-Baltic Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (Pan-Baltic VCA) was founded on August 25th at the meeting of the Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian private equity and venture capital associations with the aim to develop an attractive and viable regional ecosystem of the venture capital for the fund managers and investors.
The teams of the Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian private equity and risk capital associations will support the work of the Baltic Private Equity and Venture Capital Association. The Chairman of the Board of the Latvian Private Equity and Venture Capital Association, Edgars Pigoznis, said that establishment of the umbrella organization enables to share obligations, unify cooperation, and market the area as a whole.
Unique model
The Baltic Private Equity and Venture Capital Association is a unique form of cooperation since there are no such cross-region venture capital organizations in other parts of Europe. “The Baltic Innovation Fund is an example of successful cross-border cooperation. We need to further increase cooperation and bring small markets under one umbrella as otherwise the bigger countries have competitive advantage at involvement of private equity and venture capital,” he said.
Edgars Pigoznis mentioned that for the Baltic States, it is not practical to communicate with institutional investors outside the Baltic States, the business angels and venture capital companies separately. “The central marketing and management of relationships is reasonable and efficient from the point of view of all three states and all parties,” Pigoznis added.
Apvienojoties Latvijas, Igaunijas un Lietuvas privātā un riska kapitāla asociācijām, šī gada 25. augustā nodibināta Baltijas Privātā un Riska Kapitāla asociācija (Pan-Baltic Private Equity and Venture Capital Association jeb Pan-Baltic VCA).
Kā informē Latvijas Privātā un Riska Kapitāla asociācijas izpilddirektore Egita Poļanska,Pan-Baltic VCA mērķis ir izstrādāt fondu menedžeriem un investoriem pievilcīgu un dzīvotspējīgu reģionālo riska kapitāla ekosistēmu.
Šādas aptverošas organizācijas dibināšana ļauj sadalīt pienākumus, veidot vienotu sadarbības modeli, kā arī iezīmēt tirgu, norāda Latvijas Privātā un Riska Kapitāla asociācijas valdes priekšsēdētājs Edgars Pīgoznis.
Pan-Baltic VCA ir unikāla sadarbības forma, jo citviet Eiropā nepastāv šādas starpreģionālas riska kapitāla asociācijas.
