## About
TLDR

Bjorn Tremmerie is Head of Venture Capital and Impact Investing at European Investment Fund.

Background

Recorded live at SuperNova 2025, this podcast episode features Bjorn Tremmerie, Head of Venture Capital and Impact Investing at the European Investment Fund. He explains the EIF's fund-of-funds model, its four funding pillars (EIB, European Commission, member states, and private institutionals), and its scale of roughly €20-25 billion invested across hundreds of VC funds. Tremmerie candidly admits he once doubted European venture could ever deliver returns, but says market data forced him to change his mind, and he now criticizes European pension funds and insurers for still failing to invest in European VC despite abundant proof points. He argues Europe captures 1 in 4 early-stage euros globally but only 10% of scale-up capital, and highlights initiatives like the €3.6B European Tech Champions Initiative to fund billion-euro European funds. He closes with calls for a stronger pan-European identity, more tolerance for failure, and an ambition that institutionals flock into European venture within 5-10 years.
