The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China and Bain & Company are delighted to invite you to the launch of the 2012 Survey : The Social and Economic Impact of Private Equity in China on Tuesday 13th March at Westin Hotel Chaoyang in Beijing.
Over the past decade, the venture capital and private equity (PE) industry in China has grown in stature and influence, serving as a driving force for economic growth, job creation, innovation and entrepreneurial success. China now is one of the leading destinations for PE capital amid continued global economic turbulence, with more than US$16 billion invested in 2011, representing 0.2% of China’s GDP compared with 0.3% in Europe and 0.5% in the US.
In a joint effort by the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China and Bain and Company, this survey documents the role that PE investments play in the growth of Chinese companies and how those investments contribute to China’s long-term economic and development goals. The survey measures and compares the extent to which PE firms transfer management know-how to their portfolio businesses, build globally competitive companies, improve corporate governance, develop an innovative private sector, support development inland and foster domestic consumption. The survey’s goal is to chronicle the growing impact of PE investments on China based on objective facts and figures.
