In recent years, the Chinese Government has recognized the key role of venture capital and private equity in growth of businesses and the development of economy. Not only are they introducing policies to promote its expansion in China, they have injected real money to propel the industry. For the first time in China's VC/PE history, in Q3 2009 funds raised by RMB funds have exceeded that of US dollars. During the summit, we will discuss in depth the impact on the competitive landscape of the China VC/PE market, which has traditionally been dominated by international players, and how General Partners (GPs), Limited Partners (LPs), and potential investees position themselves to meet this change.
