Globalization of Venture Capital To Aid China, Hurt US

Globalization of the venture capital industry will intensify in coming years, posing significant competitive questions for the United States, and opportunities for emerging markets such as China, accoding to a new survey from Deloitte.

Apparently, among venture capitalists, there’s China and there’s everyone else. That was clearly demonstrated in response to earlier questions about where VCs plan to increase their investments.

Additional findings include the following:

  • The clean tech sector is poised to become the leading investment category.
  • Investment levels are more likely to increase in countries outside the United States.
  • Governments of all countries have a crucial role to play in fostering competitiveness and innovation.
  • Just over half of VCs surveyed remain optimistic that it is a terrific time to invest in promising entrepreneurial companies.
