Finding by a survey conducted by the global accounting and advising firm Deloitte show that the venture capital industry is eying the developing country in the east, while the developed countries no longer present an attractive destination for high-tech investment. The company polled a variety of venture capital firms and the survey was conducted in conjunction with the global venture capital fund union, including the American and Israeli unions.
Looking ahead, 27% of surveyees said that beyond investing in their own country, they intend to increase investments in the Chinese market over the next five years. 16% said they intend to increase investments in the Indian Market while an additional 14% said that their investments will focus on the American market.
The survey revealed that Israel is no longer viewed as an attractive investment destination, with only 2% mentioning an investment in the Israeli market. It should be noted that countries who gained a simliar ranking are “High-Tech Superpower” Vietnam, whereas countries such as Switzerland, Germaby and Great Britain ranked higher than Israel.
Likewise, when asked if it is likely that VC partners will invest in funds outside their own country, over 50% of VC executives answered positively.
The high likelihood of such investments is evident in Israeli VC executives (70%). An inversion of this trend can be seen in the Chinese and Brazillian market, where only 23% and 32% (respectively) predicted an investment outside their own country.
