EstVCA September 2023 Newsletter
We’ve now sailed to the active business season and are overwhelmed by the great feedback on our largest annual event – The Baltic VCA Summit 2023 – which took place on August 24-25 in Pärnu, Estonia. It was so great to see all the key players of the regional PE/VC community gather and exchange ideas on industry development.
Please find below updates on upcoming events, investment news from our members as well as a selection of reports that might be of interest to you.
And a big welcome to our new associate member - SEB - who recently joined the community and is looking for active cooperation with our members.
Autumn brings along a variety of great events, we'll be launching our events calendar soon. And last but not least, we are excited to announce that soon we'll start preparations for the election of EstVCA's new board, so stay tuned.
