We would love for you to join us in Guangzhou for our Master Class – ‘China Outbound M&A and VC Investments: Drivers and Trends’ by Professor Paolo Giancane.  

The objective of the master class is to provide participants with an overview of the current status of China outbound M&A activity and VC investments. Which factors are behind the surge of dealmaking in few sectors and which can explain the drop in others? 

Prof. Giancane, CFA, through his 20-year-plus investment banking and VC experience across Europe, the US and China, will present his views, a combination of fundamentals of dealmaking and current draws from the environment bankers are facing these days. 

Moreover, the discussion will touch on digital native vertical brands (DNVBs), a new hot topic of venture capital investing in the revolutionized retail/consumer sector.
