Venture capital in Spain: evolution, characterisation and economic impact analysis
by Luisa Alemany
International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management (IJEIM), Vol. 6, No. 4/5, 2006

Abstract: Venture capital in Spain has a short history, but its evolution and current trends show enormous potential. This paper characterises the Spanish venture capital sector and provides data on the economic impact of venture-backed companies. First, it summarises its history from 1972 to date. Second, it provides some key figures on supply and demand for venture capital. Finally, it presents an estimation of the economic impact of venture-backed companies using an unbiased sample of the top three regions in terms of venture capital activity. The figures are then compared to a control group of similar companies financed from alternative sources. The results are very encouraging, with implications for future regional development policies.
