Prosperous year for China VC&PE Market
2005
China Venture Capital Semi-annual Forum
The
2004 China venture capital annual investment surpassed US$1 billion
for the first time, and this figure has made the whole industry
excited. However, private equity and buyout investment have not beem
included in this statistics. In fact, a number of deals, such as the
Carlyle Group invested in Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group,
Morgan Stanley and China Diamond Holdings invested into Shanshui
Group, Goldman Sachs invested into Neptunus, Morgan Stanley invested
into Yongle Appliances indicated the opportunities of China private
equity investment, which have been emerging from a variety of areas.
On
the other side, IPO and M&A markets were also active. According
to the Zero2IPO statistics, in 2004, 81 Chinese enterprises were
listed in NASDAQ, NYSE, Hong Kong Main Board and Hong Kong GEM,
Singapore Main Board and SESDAQ, with total US$ 10.27 billion
raised. In the M&A side, there were over 20 deals relevant to
hi-growth enterprises. In 2005 the news that Shanda bought Sina’s
stock amazed the public and the industry. The increasing IPO and
M&A activities not only boosted the growth for enterprises, but
also provide liquidity for venture capital, which will sustain the
development of China venture capital and private equity market.
Venture capital, buyout investment, IPO , M&A…
Investment opportunities in China have been proved by many facts. We
are facing the historical opportunity to invest into China!
Facing
the huge Chinese market, however, how shall investors grasp
opportunities? How will enterprises take these opportunities to seek
ideal business partners? The 2005 China Venture Capital Semi-annual
Forum, launched by the most influential service provider in China
venture capital and private equity industry, Zero2IPO Ltd, will
gather together top domestic and oversea investors, entrepreneurs,
limit partners, and various professional service providers to share
their experience and viewpoints, and to seek potential opportunities
to collaborate.
The Forum will last two days, in the forms of keynotes address, panel
discussion, venture financing road show, project demonstration, and
investment negotiation. 400 people are expected to attend this
event, where mainstream investors from Silicon Valley, top people
from international financial firms and capital markets, well known
entrepreneurs and professional service providers will give
presentations and discuss how to grasp the opportunities to invest
into China private equity market. At the same time, the Forum will
also focus on hot spot industries and hi-growth projects. We hope
that the viewpoints shared by those senior investors will benefit
all the participants of this forum.
