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.
Be part of building the Next Generation of Business Angels across Europe!
We seek to build and empower the Next Generation of Business Angels, exploiting
the potential of more diverse players from new geographies and communities.
The Next Generation will bring fresh knowledge and investment capacity to back
our future technology champions, ensuring a flourishing connected and diverse
investment and innovation ecosystem across Europe.
Having a specific goal on diversity and gender equity, our Consortium will be working with a new Women Angel Leaders Task force including 25 experienced Women Angel Investors proactively leading the development of women angel investment in their own countries and who will be bringing experience, and insights to our work in developing a more diverse gender focused investment and innovation ecosystem across Europe
Meet our local Business Angels across Europe involved in ESIL. They are here to support creation and/or upscale of new or existing Business Angels associations or clubs.
