In this special edition, the panel discuss:
The intense and proactive activity and results of the BVCA, with the support of BVCA members, that has led to the increased understanding of the role of private capital as a partner for growth; how the continuity of the dialogue and engagement with senior politicians and the media is enabling stakeholders to see the alignment of common goals; the transparency agenda through the Walker Guidelines; the game changing opportunity to get more capital from within the UK available to member firms driven by the Investment Compact initiative; the significant investment in the capacity and capability of the BVCA’s activity; and the BVCA reports and member case studies that help to provide the data evidence to tell the compelling story of the role of private capital in supporting innovation, talent, competitiveness and sustainability, while investing significantly nationwide.
A brief look ahead covers key policy areas – including accessing Defined Contribution pension capital, simplifying sustainability regulation, improving UK regulatory competitiveness, and addressing any misperceptions of the industry which could lead to poorly-informed policy choices.
