Venture capital is all about investing millions of dollars in start up companies that have the potential to grow immensely and at a rapid rate.

Venture capital firms look for businesses with these features. It's no surprise then that many venture capital firms are heading east, to China, where the economy is booming. Many savvy and intelligent Chinese entrepreneurs are taking advantage of China's impressive economic growth, and venture capital from abroad wants a piece of the action. In particular, the pharmaceutical industry of China is seeing buillish growth recently as foreign venture capital continues to enter the market. Venture capital business owners are optimistic about the pharmaceutical industry there, as demonstrated in the discussions at the Shanghai International Symposium. The areas of China which are receiving most attention include Shenzhen.
