Dear Friends,
It gives us great pleasure to invite you to attend our 2008 Taiwan Venture Forum－Private Equity and Venture Capital in Taiwan: Transforming Industry, Connecting the World to be held from 09:00 to 18:00 on November 24, 2008, at the Taipei International Conference Center (TICC).
The 2008 Taiwan Venture Forum (2008 TVF) is the must-attend event for private equity and venture capital in Taiwan this year. With the recent election of President Ma Ying-jeou, Taiwan has entered new era of improved relations with China. Nothing could please the private equity and venture community more. The 2008 TVF will examine how this new era promises to bring significant opportunities to invest in Taiwan and create win-win cross-strait partnerships. The 2008 TVF will bring together top foreign and local leaders from the private equity and venture capital industry.
We are also honored to announce that President Ma himself will speak at the 2008 TVF, along with senior ministers of his cabinet. By attending the 2008 TVF, you will gain unmatched insight on the current issues, trends, and opportunities in Greater China amid the current global financial crisis.
We look forward to seeing you in Taipei!
