Asia Venture Capital Forum 2021

6 July, 2021

The HKVCA’s Asia Venture Capital Forum (AVCF) was held on Tuesday, July 6, 2021. This was the second year in a row the event was held in a largely virtual format and we were very excited to have had more than 500 people, including both PE and VC practitioners, register from locations around the world.

The half-day event featured a four-hour long program that included four fireside chats, five panel discussions and a special presentation on advanced medtech adoption by Hong Kong’s Hospital Authority. Discussions covered venture investment topics such as foodtech, regtech, SPACs and telemedicine. Limited partners and single family offices shared their views on recent opportunities and challenges. Asian unicorns and corporate ventures discussed success metrics and experiences, among other issues, and there was a focus on the most recent regulatory updates, especially around ESG.

We are very grateful to Cyberport and the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park for co-hosting the event. We would also like to thank our sponsors, specifically Citi and KPMG, our Platinum Sponsors; Arbor Ventures and Globalization Partners, our Venture Sponsors; and Clifford Chance, our Fireside Chat Sponsor. The continued loyalty of our sponsors is what has made this Forum possible. Of course, our thanks to all the speakers and attendees for their participation. We are also grateful for the patience and understanding of the participants for any technical glitches they may have experienced, and thank everyone for joining us this year for what proved be a successful event.
