HVCA 30th Anniversary - Portfolio Investment Conference 2021

The annual investment conference of HVCA is held for the 22nd time this year. It provides a forum for the prominent participants, investors, executive and business decision-makers of the venture capital and private equity sector in Central and Eastern Europe for the exchange and discussion of experiences and professional networking.

2021 marks an important stage in the life of HVCA. The association celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, therefore the major events, significant milestones and remarkable achievements of the Hungarian venture capital and private equity sector in the last three decades are reminisced.

The global VC and PE trends are going to be presented by Pierre du Preez, Senior partner of All Seasons Venture Partners. The success stories of the companies that began their operations in Hungary and in the CEE region are retold, with special attention to how they succeeded in making the region attractive to prominent Western European investors, which provided a boost to the globalization of the regional ecosystem. Furthermore, the international sectoral and investment trends of VC and PE investors are going to be scrutinized regarding one of the prioritized fields of investment as well, i.e., the biotech sector. Presenting regional successful exit stories and their conclusions is an essential section of the conference, for instance, the path of EPAM from the CEE region to Nasdaq, the New York Stock Exchange, or the success of the Tresorit. The conference also addresses the expected state involvement in the VC and PE market in the upcoming seven years.

A korai magyar startupok kapitalizációja mára vetekszik a hazai blue chipekével 

Elstartolt a HVCA éves befektetési konferenciája, amely a szervezet 30. jubileumi évfordulója alkalmából visszatekint a hazai kockázati- és magántőke iparág elmúlt három évtizedének főbb eseményeire, de szó lesz a globális VC/PE trendekről, és olyan, a régióból induló globális sikertörténetekről is, mint a Tresorit vagy az EPAM.

Ráirányította a biotechnológiára a befektetők figyelmét a covid 

Sem a fertőző betegségek elleni gyógyszerfejlesztés, sem a vakcinafejlesztés nem volt trendi terület a befektetők szemében, ami egyértelműen megváltozott az elmúlt években. A Portfolio és a HVCA közös konferenciáján biotechnológia cégek vezetői vitatták meg, merre tart a gyógyszeripar.

A magyar startup-történelem egyik legnagyobb exitje - Beszámoltak az alapítók 

Elstartolt a HVCA éves befektetési konferenciája, amely a szervezet 30. jubileumi évfordulója alkalmából visszatekint a hazai kockázati- és magántőke iparág elmúlt három évtizedének főbb eseményeire, de szó lesz a globális VC/PE trendekről, és olyan, a régióból induló globális sikertörténetekről is, mint a Tresorit vagy az EPAM.

Egyetemistaként dolgozták ki, mára iparági standarddá vált a magyar IT-cég megoldása 

A világ egyik leginnovatívabbnak tartott állami cége, a Svájci Posta nemrég többségi tulajdont szerzett a magyar alapítású IT-biztonsági vállalatban, a Tresoritban, amely így felkerült a magyar startup-történelem legjelentősebb exitjeinek listájára. A LogMeIn (30 millió dollár), Prezi (72,8 millió dollár), Ustream (103,8 millió dollár) után a negyedik legtöbb befektetést, 18 millió dollárt elérő cég alapító-ügyvezetőjét a tranzakció nehézségeiről, a számos tulajdonossal való hosszas egyeztetésekről, az egyetemi évekről, kémfilmekről és az adatvédelmi trendek változásáról kérdeztük.

Pumpálják a pénzt a kockázatitőke-szektorba, szeptember végén bemutatják az eredményeket 

Az extrém növekedési fázisában lévő vállalatok a nemzetgazdaság élbolyában vannak, ezért az államnak eminens érdeke, hogy ezeket a cégeket támogassa – mondta a Portfolio-nak Eszter Elemér, a Magyar Kockázati-és Magántőke Egyesület (HVCA) elnöke, aki arról is beszélt, hogyan reagált az egyesület az elmúlt 30 év kihívásaira, miért kevés a magántőke a magyar befektetési piacon, és mikor lesznek kézzelfoghatóak az elmúlt évtizedek befektetéseinek eredményei. Interjú.
