@ LAVA: the Investment Capital Conference 2000
Within the last two years, such as Chinese Government has clearly set "developing high technology driving economy" as its strategic goal. On August 20, 1999, Chinese State Council issued an official document on promoting information technology industry in China, and claimed that China has to achieve industrialization through developing high technologies. China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) also advocated that innovative projects and high tech companies should be open to overseas capitals and that fund raising and even listing should be encouraged for IT companies. And now, the gate is open, and venture capitals are flooding into China's high tech industries.
There is no doubt that China offers the most potential high tech projects for American venture capitalists. In addition, India, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan are already globally activated. Asia's IT industry is obviously still at development stage. In the land of grab, venture funds can find high return in almost every corner: ICP, ISP, ASP, B2B, Consulting, Infrastructure and so on. With Asia's GDP growing at nearly 10% per annum, IT industries in Asia offers better opportunities than their American counterparts: higher growth rate, rapidly expanding market, better timing (revision of the US's spectacular growth), cheaper labor, higher profit margin, support from the government. These IT companies need venture capital financing, but also managerial system, technologies, international promotion, and IPO in overseas capital market. Venture capital communities in the United States can offer all of that in exchange of the financial success as achieved by China.com, Sina.com, China Unicom and many others to come.
