Abstract

Companies are willing to be more innovative if they expect to receive funds. In this paper, we will emphasize the importance of venture capital as a motor for innovation and entrepreneurship in the Algerian context, by presenting a survey of other contexts such as the USA and Europe in a review of literature. We will also show the state of existing Algerian innovation and venture capital and compare it to the Moroccan and Tunisian contexts. Our main finding is that the Venture capital funds have a positive impact on innovation furthermore; the venture capital activity in Algeria is still very weak compared to our neighboring countries, which also has a negative impact on Algerian startup innovation.
