BEF – Bureau of Entrepreneurial Finance

The BEF Bureau of Entrepreneurial Finance arises from a collaboration agreement signed between Politecnico di Milano and Politecnico di Torino with the aim to advance and disseminate world-class scientific research on entrepreneurial finance issues.

 

The collaboration focuses on initiatives regarding the study of the characteristics of financial actors and internal financing dynamics of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, investment methods and strategies by private equity operators, venture capitalists, business angels and other investors, as well as the analysis of new scenarios linked to the fintech revolution and social impact finance.

 

The centre undertakes research projects sponsored by central banks, bank foundations, Italian and European government agencies, and private companies.
