The 2013 Global Venture Capital Congress was successfully hosted by the Hong Kong Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (HKVCA) at Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEx) on Friday 8 November. Representatives from as many as 21 different associations from around the world were in attendance.

Chairman of the Global Venture Capital Congress, Terry McGuire, welcomed everyone to Hong Kong in his opening remarks before introducing HKEx Assistant Vice President, Issuer and Client Services, Global Markets Division, Michael Chan, and keynote speaker, Permanent Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury (Financial Services), Au King-chi JP.

Ms Au congratulated the Congress on holding its event in Hong Kong – and indeed in Asia - for the first time. “You have made the right choice to host the Congress here. where you can hear firsthand [about] the asset management opportunities in the East, and what this city may offer as China’s global financial centre,” she said.

Each national delegation then presented a five-minute overview of the most pressing issues facing their respective regions and membership, including the major challenges, requests for support and feedback, and each delegation’s goals for the Global Venture Capital Congress.

We would also like to thank Michael Chan, Assistant Vice President, for generously allowing us the use of their auditorium and host the Market Open Ceremony.
