Riskkapital 2008

On 11 March Riskkapital 2008 was held in Stockholm, hosted by the Swedish Venture Capital Association. Women were recognised as the saviour of the European venture community; the Swedish Government said it hoped to reform the taxation of the asset class; and the risks of a new IT bubble were explored. These, in addition to the status quo in the buyout market, were the hot topics of the day-long event. Linn Ronning reports
