Venture capital and innovation: EU and US VS Croatia

Innovation processes in companies are one of the determinants of economic development. Small and medium-sized enterprises are more dynamic than large ones, but they have difficulties with access to funds for initial investment and for starting production with a view to implementation and realization of innovations. One possible source of initial capital is venture capital, because in addition to money they can get professional support that is needed for beginners. Venture capital plays a significant role in technology transfer from research institutions to enterprises and in commercialization of ideas. Croatia as a small economy significantly lags behind the US (primarily), as well as the EU in the use of venture capital, but it is creating potential for increased growth rate.
