With British Prime Minister Theresa May triggering Article 50 today to make official the UK’s exit from the European Union, we wanted to highlight a handful of the ways Brexit has already impacted VC, PE and M&A activity since last summer’s historic vote:
- Our 2016 Annual European PE Report spotlights private equity activity in the UK and describes the post-vote uncertainty still lingering in the broader European scene.
- Our 2016 Annual European Venture Report describes a substantial VC decline in Europe during 2016—a development that can be traced in part to Brexit but has other causes, too.
- We put together a datagraphic breaking down how Europe’s VC ecosystem benefits from a multinodal network that could keep investment activity healthy even as the uncertainty ushered in by Brexit becomes the new normal.
- Despite increasing protectionism on many fronts, plenty of American corporations are courting European targets.
