Recognised as the most highly anticipated international private equity event in Taiwan, the AVCJ Taiwan Forum returns to Taipei on December 5. A highly-focused and editorially driven programme, combined with superior networking opportunities, the Forum will bring together more than 300 veteran and new private equity investors, venture capitalists, institutional investors, regulators, and corporate executives to discuss market opportunities and collectively create ideas to support the sustainable development of the private equity ecosystem in Taiwan.

Taiwanese private equity: Back on the map

Private equity is rediscovering Taiwan again. After a few quiet years, investors are being drawn back by the opportunities created through generational succession, (the need for) corporate transformation, and the search for better growth in other markets. Despite that fact that successful execution, from sourcing deals to aligning interests and exiting profitably, remains a challenge, GPs have committed to several deals this year. Our panel of seasoned GPs discuss:

• Where are the drivers of this newfound interest in Taiwan; and how can the most attractive opportunities be accessed?
• Why have company founders turned towards private equity; and what are the best ways to align management?
• How can private equity support industry consolidation and restructuring?
• How can private equity help companies go global and access new markets without giving up core local business?
