Asia Venture Capital Forum 2024

April 8, 2024

The HKVCA’s annual Asia Venture Capital Forum (AVCF) was held on April 8, 2024, marking a successful and significant return to large-scale in-person events after three years of virtual meetings due to the pandemic. Held the day after the Hong Kong 7’s global sporting event, the Forum featured robust participation, attracting over 300 attendees, many of them key players in the venture capital community.

This year’s event explored a rich vein of topics crucial to the Asian venture capital landscape, with a focus on regions and sectors such as Southeast Asia, China, Hong Kong, biotech, fintech, and perspectives from limited partners. These discussions offered attendees a deep dive into current investment trends and opportunities across the most dynamic markets.

We were honored to collaborate once again with Cyberport and the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park, who joined with us to co-host the event. Their continued partnership underscores the Forum’s importance when it comes to fostering innovation and investment across the region’s technology and venture sectors.

KPMG graciously returned as our Platinum Sponsor, playing a pivotal role in the event’s success. We also extend our gratitude to InvestHK for sponsoring the luncheon, which served as an incredibly valuable networking opportunity for attendees. C Capital supported the forum as our Silver Sponsor, while Arbor Ventures continued their involvement as a Venture Sponsor.

However, the Forum was not just a platform for discussing market trends and investment opportunities – it was also a celebration of the venture community’s resilience and adaptability as we returned to face-to-face exchanges. This year’s event provided a much-needed space for direct engagement and networking, enhancing the value and impact of our lively discourse and discussion.

We sincerely thank each of our sponsors, co-hosts, speakers, and attendees for their contributions and enthusiasm. Their participation and support were crucial in making the HKVCA Asia Venture Capital Forum 2024 a landmark event. We look forward to continuing to build on these partnerships in the years to come.
