Formed in 1983, it was until 2015 known as the European Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (EVCA), before rebranding as "Invest Europe: The Voice of Private Capital” on 1 October 2015.[1]

Based in Brussels, Invest Europe's Chief Executive is Michael Collins[2] and the current chairman is Gerry Murphy.[3]

As the industry association, Invest Europe aims to make a constructive contribution to policy affecting private capital investment in Europe, providing information on its members' role in the economy and publishing research on industry trends and developments.[4][5][6][7] It also publishes a Professional Standards Handbook, a comprehensive set of standards and guidelines for the private equity industry.[8][9]

The association hosts annual industry events in Europe, including an Investors' Forum.[10]

Invest Europe's data is used by a number of institutions including the European Investment Fund[11] and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.[12]
