Ready for Equity conference, Brussels September 2008, Keynote speech: “Investment Readiness as a pan-European issue”.

EBAN is organizing this event in collaboration with Finance South East, the lead partner of the ‘Ready for Equity’ EU funded project, as well as the project’s other partners in the EU. The project was a response to the market failure in early stage capital and the recognition of the lack of understanding of European enterprises of the equity market. In this framework, the project aimed at developing training curricula for entrepreneurs and business angels to enhance the quality and quantity of business angel deals, thus benefiting investors, companies and business angel network managers.
