BUSINESSES will be given an insight into how to secure venture capital funding at a forum event in Cardiff tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Among the speakers will be chief executive of Sir Terry Matthews’s high technology venture capital fund Wesley Clover, Simon Gibson.<\/p>\n
Mr Gibson, who is also a board member of the Welsh Development Agency, will be speaking at the forum held at Jurys Hotel at 6.30pm.<\/p>\n
The technology venture capital (VC) market is showing signs of a recovery, with capital investments rising in the US and optimism improving in the UK.<\/p>\n
The latest quarterly MoneyTree survey says US venture capitalists invested $4.3bn in 669 firms in the second quarter of 2003, slightly up from $ 4bn into 647 firms in the first quarter.<\/p>\n
UK VCs are expecting to benefit from the positive changes in the US.<\/p>\n
The forum also includes investors from Xenos, Finance Wales and Lloyds TSB, who will present and discuss their ideas of what makes a sound business case for funding and the different types of investment available to Welsh digital media companies.<\/p>\n
The event is part of Net.Works, brought together by Strategic-i Ltd and the @Wales Digital Media Initiative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
