Abstract

[fre] Le venture capital est, par l’apport de fonds propres aux jeunes entreprises innovantes, un élément crucial de compétitivité économique. Malheureusement, les investisseurs en non-coté ont une préférence marquée, en France comme en Europe, pour les LBO - qui représentent plus de 80 % de leurs investissements ; le capital-développement ne reçoit qu’un dixième des apports et le véritable capital d’amorçage à peine 5 %, et la tendance est à la baisse en proportion malgré une croissance en valeur absolue. La crise financière n’a rien arrangé... Pour ranimer les vocations de véritables capitaux-risqueurs, trois éléments sont nécessaires : des accompagnateurs, des possibilités de sortie en Bourse et des incitations fiscales. Ces efforts devraient aider les investisseurs privés à se réintéresser davantage à l’aspect le plus créatif et le plus noble de leur métier. . Classification JEL : G24, G32 [eng] Venture capital and SMEs . Venture capital brings, by contributing equity to young innovative companies, a crucial add-on to economic competitiveness. Regrettably, the investors in private equity show a marked preference, in France as in Europe, for the LBOs - which represent more than 80% of their total investments ; capital development receives only a tenth of their contributions and real venture capital no more than 5%. The trend is leading downwards for venture capital as a proportion of total private equity, although an increase can be noted in absolute amounts. The financial crisis does not make things any better... To revive the appeal of real risk capital investment, three elements should be present : Co-investors ; possibilities of getting floated on the stock exchange and tax incentives. These efforts should help private sector investors to become more interested in the most creative and noblest aspect of their profession. . JEL Classification : G24, G32
