INVITATION AND CALL FOR PAPERS

Third Annual Online Workshop

Venture Capital and Private Equity in the Asia Pacific Region

Friday 9 November 2012

12-2 pm Hong Kong time.

The Asian Finance Association is pleased to invite interested academics and practitioners to submit papers and/or participate in an online workshop on “Venture Capital and Private Equity in the Asia Pacific Region”. The workshop is organised by the Asian Finance Association and hosted by the School of Banking and Finance, Australian School of Business, UNSW.

The Asian region has an increasing role in the global venture capital and private equity market.

However, there has been limited research on the role/impact of venture capital and private equity in the Asia Pacific region. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers and market participants to discuss recent research on venture capital and private equity and its broader implications for practice and policy.

We invite authors to submit high-quality research papers on any aspect of venture capital and private equity with a focus on Asia Pacific markets.

To submit a paper or register to participate:
