"How Germany is unleashing private capital through the Wachstumsfonds"

The Wachstumsfonds Deutschland proved a point: a €1 billion VC fund-of-funds, over 70 percent private capital, fully deployed in three years. With Wachstumsfonds II now raising on the same target, this Roundtable examines the mechanism, how a public anchor pulled insurers, pension schemes, and family offices into an asset class they had long avoided, and whether it is a template Europe can scale or a uniquely German fix.
