Opportunities in venture capital are attracting important flows of funds to the Swedish market. During the past decade, total inflow to the private equity industry (including venture capital and buy-out) has increased from € 2.4 billion/$ 3 billion to almost € 24 billion/$ 30 billion. The rise of successful venture funds has played a key part to the growth of Sweden's venture capital sector. Today, Swedish venture capital firms manage funds of € 9 billion/$ 12 billion compared to practically zero ten years ago. A recent survey by Thomson Venture Economics showed strong returns from a sample of Swedish funds, with an IRR (Internal Rate of Return) since inception of 23 percent.
