The German Private Equity and Venture Capital Association
(“Bundesverband Deutscher Kapitalbeteiligungsgesell schaf -
ten”, “BVK”) is the representative of the German private
equity industry covering private equity firms, from venture
capital, through growth capital, to buy-outs and institutional
investors. It is the mission of BVK to create the best possible
environmental conditions for the industry within Germany.
This requires improving tax and legal environmental conditions
for private equity. This is done in dialogue with political
and administrative decision-makers, through facilitating
access to capital sources, surveying the markets and
analysing market trends, as well as supporting our members
in exchanging their experiences. To achieve this, systematic
industry communication, such as that BVK pursues together
with its more than 300 members, is fundamental.
Baden-Württemberg: Connected e.V., or bwcon for short, is
the leading business initiative promoting Baden-Württemberg
as a high-tech location. As one of the most successful
European technology networks, bwcon is presently fostering
connections between more than 600 companies and
research institutes. Currently, more than 5,500 experts are
benefiting from systematic networking via the bwcon hub.
The added value generated by bwcon is to be found in the
possibilities offered by new cooperation projects and connections.
Creathor Venture is an independent fund company with no
ties to any other financial or industry institution. We are
seeking entrepreneurs who address new markets and have
the potential to turn their company into a global market
leader in the fields of IT, telecommunications, media, new
materials, electronics and nanotechnology, cleantech and
life sciences.
We have 25 years of venture capital experience, having
acted as lead investor for more than 200 companies and
participated in over 20 IPOs. Currently, we have EUR 150
million under management.
