The European Investment Fund has launched its first fund aimed at business angels as start-up investment in the region continues to struggle.

The EIF is a division of the European Investment Bank which seeks to finance small to medium-sized companies in Europe. Its new European Angels Fund will have capital of up to €80m committed jointly with Business Angels Netzwerk Deutschland, according to a statement.
