EMERGING FUNDING FOR THE REAL ECONOMY
First edition
May 13, 2014
Athenee Palace Hilton Bucharest
OVERVIEW
One generation of private equity funds has come to maturity. Will there a new wave be coming in? Which sectors will they be looking at? Is traditional acrimony of business founders coming to an end in a way that would make 2014 a turning point in the life of the Bucharest Stock Exchange, with a unique combination of government listings and long-awaited private sector IPOs?
Romania, along with CEE and the wider Europe as a whole has witnessed for the past five years a regulatory-driven adjustment of its business models, all in the name of its investing citizens. Are we all heading now towards less regulatory changes, but more supervision and, finally, more common sense?
The conference aims to bring together the stakeholders of the real economy’s funding value chain, giving everybody a platform and a chance to speak out (concerns, debates, plans, regulations, case studies, to dos etc.)
