Last year 1,668 venture-backed UK companies raised a total of just under £1.4bn, an increase of 27 per cent from 2005, according to research commissioned by UBS Wealth Management and released by Library House. The increase was driven by a rise in activity in both the information technology and services and the retail sectors, the Funding Growth in a Changing World: The UBS UK Venture Backed Report - 2007 found.
The top investors in 2006 - by syndicated deal amount - were 3i Group and, closely behind them, Accel Partners.
By number of deals, the top investor was the Scottish Enterprise Fund with 51 investments completed. The Oxford Technology Venture Capital Trust was in second place with 22 investments.
