The Luxembourg Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (LPEA) is proud to celebrate its 15th anniversary with an exclusive event, taking place on 6 February, bringing together members, friends of the association, and distinguished guests. The event will highlight the association’s growth, its strategic vision for the next five years, and key developments within the Private Equity and Venture Capital (PE/VC) ecosystem both in Europe and Luxembourg.
A Celebration of Achievements and Growth
Since its inception, LPEA has significantly expanded and is now the voice of more than 200 investors and managers of Private Capital Funds in Luxembourg. Earlier this year, the Association surpassed the 600-member mark, bringing together a wide range of PE/VC professionals. It has played a key role in strengthening Luxembourg’s PE/VC sector by adapting to evolving market conditions and launching new initiatives focused on advocacy, data collection, education, talent attraction and retention—all while continuously promoting Luxembourg beyond its borders.
Distinguished Speakers and Key Discussions
The event will feature a speech by Luxembourg’s Finance Minister, Gilles Roth, followed by a panel discussion moderated by Anne Canel, a well-known professional of our ecosystem. Panellists include Eric de Montgolfier (CEO of Invest Europe) who will provide updates on Invest Europe, the evolution of the regulatory environment, and comment on key observed trends, including retailisation, and social value creation. Claus Mansfeldt (Chairman of SwanCap Luxembourg and President of LPEA) will reflect on post-COVID industry shifts, and the sector’s sustained value creation, while Stéphane Pesch (CEO of LPEA) will discuss the growth of Luxembourg’s PE/VC industry and LPEA’s expanding footprint.
Reflecting on the Future
Claus Mansfeldt, Chairman of SwanCap Luxembourg & President of LPEA, says: “Celebrating 15 years of LPEA is a testament to the strength and resilience of Luxembourg’s Private Equity and Venture Capital ecosystem. Together, we have built a dynamic platform that drives growth, employs thousands of skilled people and creates value for all stakeholders. We now have industry leadership advantages but also challenges to remain there. Hence, this milestone inspires us to remain innovative, competitive and focused on ensuring a bright future for our industry in Luxembourg and beyond.”
Stéphane Pesch, CEO of LPEA, comments: “This is a moment to recognize the dedication and drive of all international and local PE/VC professionals and visionaries, who have propelled our industry forward. If we look into the future, our focus will be to strengthen further our network, reinforce industry standards, drive innovation, enhance education and attract talents. Luxembourg has become a crucial hub for Private Equity and Venture Capital, and we are committed to reinforce this momentum with a strategic vision that will foster a sustainable and ambitious growth.”
LPEA’s 15th anniversary event will strike a balance between institutional insights and celebration, reflecting the professional and passionate community that has built LPEA over the years and continues to grow to this day. As part of the festivities, LPEA will launch a commemorative book analysing the latest evolutions of the PE/VC industry in Luxembourg. Co-authored by LPEA team members and industry leaders, the book will provide an overview of recent developments and offer a forward-looking perspective on emerging trends, including the growing presence of front-office functions in Luxembourg.
As Luxembourg continues to solidify its position as a hub for Private Equity and Venture Capital, LPEA remains committed to driving innovation, fostering collaboration, and shaping the future of the industry.
