In Support of Ukraine

EstVCA, being a member of Invest Europe, dedicates its utmost efforts to support Ukraine and its people in the fight against the aggressor. 

As the association representing Europe’s private equity, venture capital, and infrastructure sectors, as well as their investors, Invest Europe utterly condemns the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation on February 24 and stands in full support of the Ukrainian people.

Below, you can find the steps we have taken to recognise and do what we currently can to address the terrible situation currently unfolding in Ukraine. Europe’s private equity and venture capital industry is reliant on global value-chains and investment opportunities. As such, we 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.

We stand behind the people of Ukraine. We stand together as an industry.

We are profoundly saddened by the tragic loss of life and human suffering in Ukraine. Any consideration of economic losses is, of course, irrelevant compared to the worry for our fellow European citizens in Ukraine, including our colleagues and the tens of thousands of employees of companies they back.

As such, Invest Europe will make a sizeable donation to support the work of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Ukraine @ICRC. We have equally issued the call to our 610 members to boost this funding further.
