Introduction
The Singapore Venture Capital & Private Equity Association (SVCA) was formed in 1992 under the patronage of the Economic Development Board to promote the development of the venture capital (VC) and private equity (PE) industry. From a humble start of two, our membership now exceeds one hundred and continues to grow in tandem with the industry’s development. As a not-for-profit organisation, the association strives to:
- Promote the professional development of the industry through awards, training, workshops and conferences
- Facilitate interaction and collaboration among its members through regular networking events
- Act as a platform for dialogue on regulatory and policy issues pertaining to VC and PE through data research, feedback and consultation with members and regulatory authorities
- Build linkages to centres of VC and PE activities in the region through active participation at regional and global VC & PE Initiatives
Each year, during its annual members’ Gala Dinner, the SVCA presents a set of awards to participants in the Venture Capital and Private Equity industry. Like past years, the awards will include candidates from the for-profit and non-profit world to reflect the increased participation and value created by venture capital and private equity in the worlds of both impact and traditional investment.
