Where is global venture capital flowing, and why?

That was the question on the table when our Managing Partner, Patrick Sheehan, joined Deborah Pittet (Forestay Capital SA), Simone Riva Violetta (Partech), and host Madhusmita Das (Leo Capital) at The Bologna Gathering 2026 for the panel “The highways of VC: where and why are global investors going?”

The Bologna Gathering convenes a curated group of VCs, corporates, founders, LPs, and ecosystem builders for 30 hours immersed in the best of Italian tech. The format is intentionally intimate, bringing investors into close contact with the founders and operators shaping the future of venture capital, technology and innovation.

A sincere thank you to the organisers and to Patrick’s fellow panellists for a generous, thoughtful conversation focused on driving positive change.
