Abstract

Since the beginning of the 1990s, venture capital financing has gained significance as an instrument of innovation policy used by the Federal Government and the Federal States of Germany. As a parallel development, partly stimulated by government measures, the private venture capital market has shown itself to be very dynamic since 1997 (cf. Lessat et al. 1999; Leopold/Frommann 1998.). Following a period of stagnation with new investments of barely DM 1 billion annually, a total new business amount of approximately DM 3.8 billion was invested in 1998. According to the figures for the first six months of 1999 reported by the non-profit making German Venture Capital Association, another high growth rate of DM 4.5 to 6 billion is expected for 1999.
