   Overview

We are seeing the globalization of the capital markets. Companies, investors, stock exchanges are looking worldwide for the growth opportunities. China is the hotbed of Asian IPO activities, not surprisingly, since the Chinese economy has been growing at more than eight percent per annum over the last twenty years. Large and technology companies in China tend to prefer to go public on US stock exchange, to take advantage of the investors’ sophistication, the market depth and the liquidity.

Increasingly, however, Chinese companies are looking to go public in Asia and Europe, as US stock exchange does not meet the needs of every one. The notable gainer thus far has been Hong Kong, which has staged some of the biggest non-tech China IPOs and many smaller ones. Since listing their first Greater China’s IPO in year 2004, Tokyo Stock Exchange has been actively marketing themselves to Chinese start-ups. Japan markets, established and highly regulated like the US, appear distance candidates in the mind of many Chinese companies planning an IPO.

Nevertheless, there are unique merits and untapped opportunities going public in Japan. This Japan-China Gateway Event provides a unique platform for participants to hear from Chinese companies, and venture capital firms why they opt to go public in Japan. Delegates from the Tokyo Stock Exchange and Nomura Securities will also be present to speak about their advantages and to answer queries. In addition to taking advantage of potentially higher market capitalization, listing in Japan allows Chinese companies who target Japanese market to build credibility and experience in Japan.

Mitsui Ventures will open doors to Chinese venture business and venture capitalists and their portfolio companies to access executives and investors from Japan. Furthermore, Mitsui Ventures would also like to be a bridge accelerating the in-depth acquaintance and understanding between Chinese venture business and Japanese company.

If you are involved in planning an IPO, whether as the investor or as the IPO aspirant, this is a golden opportunity for you to know deeper about the Tokyo markets and to aid you in your IPO markets comparison. If you are looking to expand your business into Japan , this event is also a useful bridge to connect you to major Japanese companies. We look forward to you joining us in this unique event.

Japan-China Gateway Event is a series event with Japan-Silicon Valley Gateway Event which was successfully held in California, United States in April 2006 by Mitsui Ventures. The event brought together executives from Asia and US venture capitalists to develop relationships and knowledge to accelerate business development.
