Expanding Business Angel Investing in Europe

ESIL is dedicated to boosting Europe’s innovative ecosystems through the creation of a thriving, connected and diverse angel investment community across all the countries of Europe, whilst strengthening those markets where angel investment may still be lagging behind.

 

ESIL is supported by funding from the European Union through the European Innovation Council and SME Executive Agency EISMEA. ESIL is delivered by a consortium of highly experienced ecosystem players, deeply embedded in European investment and innovation ecosystems, composed of META Group, BAE  and Bpifrance.
