HONG KONG, Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Asian Venture Capital Journal (AVCJ) by Mergermarket, an ION Analytics service, held its 24th annual Asian Private Equity & Venture Capital Awards in Hong Kong on 18 November. Established as a mark of excellence in Asian private equity, the awards celebrate the firms, professionals, and achievements that have shaped the industry. This year, the awards received over 130 submissions, with more than 60 firms shortlisted, reflecting the depth of talent and innovation across the region.
The AVCJ Awards are recognized for their rigorous and transparent selection process, combining nominations and votes from the private equity and venture capital community with input from a panel of expert judges. As the industry's premier information source, AVCJ is proud to champion the innovation and performance driving the sector forward, both through year-round editorial coverage, regional events and these annual accolades.
Tim Burroughs, Managing Editor of AVCJ, said, "Private equity and venture capital firms have once again demonstrated their ability to raise capital, originate deals, and secure realizations in Asia despite challenging conditions in certain markets. Most categories were heavily contested, with worthy candidates outnumbering places on the final shortlists. Moreover, the operational value-add and responsible investment categories – in which the winners are decided by specialist judging panels, rather than by public vote – continue to showcase how sponsors in the region are deepening their engagement with portfolio companies."
