AVPN’s executive vice-chairman, Andrew Muirhead, gave a presentation to the SVP China group recently on a trip to Beijing. The gathering included members of SVP Beijing, representatives from the private equity and private banking sector and local foundations, all who were very excited to learn more about venture philanthropy. There was a great buzz to find out the differences with impact investing and the spectrum of possibilities within the social investing world.
Andrew also spoke to the government officials and GO, NGOs at the China Charity Forum on the new trends in philanthropy in Asia. The crowd was especially excited to find out more on overseas models and how these could be applied and replicated within the Chinese market. AVPN continues to grow our presence in many parts of Asia, including key countries like China. If you would like to know more about our activity and plans for China, please contact [email protected]
