HONG KONG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Deep Knowledge Ventures has joined the European Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (EVCA).
Joining the association is seen as an important step in Deep Knowledge Ventures’ business development, as it would enable the company to launch its strategic investment projects on the European market. At the same time, DKV is scheduled to establish its European presence, with head office in the UK and branch office in Switzerland.
The European Private Equity and Venture Capital Association is a non-profit professional organization representing 700 member firms, with 500 affiliate members. The Association represents and advocates the interests of participants of the European innovation ecosystem, and the venture capital and private equity industry as a whole. “Your firm adheres to the highest ethical and professional standards,” noted Dörte Höppner, Chief Executive of the EVCA, in her welcome letter.
A month earlier, Deep Knowledge Ventures joined the British Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (BVCA). Its membership integrates more than 500 influential firms, including over 230 private equity and venture capital houses, as well as institutional investors, professional advisers, service providers, international associations and university innovation centers.
"Historically, Hong Kong and the UK have always been closely linked. Oxford is the birthplace of academic science, while London is a global financial center. That is why we are focused on London and Oxford. At the same time, Switzerland is an international hub of Big Pharma and biotechnology. Therefore, setting up subsidiaries in London and Basel is a logical step in our global growth strategy. Membership in these professional associations is a natural and logical decision," said Dmitry Kaminskiy, Managing General Partner and Founder, Deep Knowledge Ventures.
