China has achieved
extraordinary economic success over the past 25 years,
with an average annual GDP growth rate of more than 9%.
However, this dramatic economic growth has been gained
at the expense of a tremendous consumption of natural
resources, low levels of economic efficiency, an inferior
productivity rate, and serious environmental pollution.
China’s past economic growth model is clearly unsustainable.
The way forward for China in the next two decades is to
achieve sustainable economic growth through reliance on
“innovation” and “entrepreneurship.” Venture capital (VC)
and private equity (PE) investment can drive and foster
innovation in technology and in business and entrepreneurship
in Chinese enterprises. In turn, China’s venture capital
industry can prosper from active innovation and true entrepreneurship.
These are the themes of the China Venture Capital and
Private Equity Forum 2007.
The China Venture Capital
and Private Equity Forum, an annual gathering of global
private equity and venture capital investors with an interest
in China, is the largest, most comprehensive, and most
authoritative forum of its kind and is the most up to
date in the range of topics and issues that are covered.
The 2007 China Venture Capital Forum will bring together
300+ global investors (LPs, PE and VC investors, corporate
investors, and investment bankers), 500+ outstanding fund-seeking
entrepreneurs, 100+ policy-makers from central and local
government, and 100+ experts and professionals to share
their experience, ideas, and valuable insights into China’s
private equity and venture capital issues and to provide
a great opportunity for cooperation among the participants.
More than 100 speakers
from China and abroad will address the 2007 China VC and
PE Forum. Speakers will share their perspectives on contemporary
issues and hot topics that have bearing on private equity
and venture capital in China and the world through in-depth
discussions, debates, analyses, and interpretations, with
reference to the current situation in China.
