Text

Given that Europe is an area with substantial political, institutional and regional differences, and different degrees of economic development, investors should not only focus on sectors, but also consider regional opportunities. Roeland Boonstoppel, head of Crescendos European operations, indicates the UK, Germany, France and Sweden as the most promising countries in terms of technological development. His opinion is largely shared by other American VCs. Jose Brena, co-managing director of TD Capital Communications Partners, includes Spain, which has a competitive telecommunications sector while financial instruments are more developed than in other countries such as, for instance, Italy. According to Brena, Scandinavia is a good place to stay in the loop, but it is difficult to make money there because of the strong competition and the wide gap between theory and practice.

The main idea of the paragraph

Because of political, institutional, and regional differences and different degrees of economic development in Europe, some sectors like telecommunications and some countries and regions, e.g. the UK, Germany, France, Spain, and Scandinavia, are more favorable than others. Also due to fierce competition, it is not easy to make money.

由于欧洲政治上、体制上和地区上的差异以及经济发展程度上的区别，在有些领域，如通讯业，和在有些国家和地区，如英国、德国、法国、西班牙和斯堪的纳维亚地区做风险投资要比在其它地方做更有利，而且，由于激烈的竞争，要赚钱也不是很容易。
