Approved by the State Council and sponsored by the Tianjin Municipal People's Government, the All China Federation of Industry & Commerce, and the Association for Corporate Growth (ACG), the First China International Private Equity Forum is held on June 6-8, 2007 at the Tianjin Binhai International Convention Center.
This forum is the largest capital-raising event in 2007. The forum has attracted more than 200 private equity funds, intermediaries and investment companies from 17 countries such as the United States, Canada, Britain, France, Russia and Germany. About 1,200 Chinese enterprises have attended the forum, including those from manufacturing, information technology, real estate, retail and whole sale, energy and resource development sectors.
ACG's internationally recognized Deal Source ("speed dating") and Capital Connection is used during the forum. Capital Connection offers attendees the opportunity to network with many potential investors, service providers and companies. Deal Source, using a "speed dating" format, matches target companies and potential investors for pre-arranged one-on-one meetings to assist in the exchange of key information. All attendees have the ability to meet with domestic investment companies and commercial banks. Through panel discussions with topics and information from the "China M&A Annual Conference", "Tianjin Investment Environment Conference", "The Third Annual Privately Owned Enterprises Development Tianjin Summit" and others, participants have learned about China's investment and legal environments, policies and strategies.
This forum demonstrates the commitment of the Tianjin Municipal People's Government in developing capital markets and the support of the All China Federation of Industry & Commerce in helping privately-owned enterprises raise capital. Mr. Mengfu Huang, Vice Chairman of 10th CPPCC National Committee and Chairman of All China Federation of Industry & Commerce, and Mr. Xianglong Dai, Deputy Secretary of Tianjin CPC and Mayor of Tianjin are jointly heading the Organizing Committee, which has the full support of government agencies, high- level officials and leading industry experts.
