@TweetingCollins @TechBanker @tatsengchiam @RMabey @HSBCInnovation @UKPrivateCap 🗣️ Juliette Gerstein says the UK is Europe's tech leader, but companies often look abroad when it's time for them to scale. "If we lose those companies we lose the skills, the IP, and the revenue."

📣 BVCA becomes UK Private Capital

The British Private Equity & Venture Capital Association is now operating under a new name: UK Private Capital.

The change reflects the wide industry ecosystem we represent today, which spans private equity, venture capital and private credit.

💡 This is a name change rather than a rebrand. Our mission, strategy and representation remain unchanged. UK Private Capital provides a clear platform for engagement as private capital’s role in backing UK businesses, innovation and jobs continues to grow.
