Our Annual SEE Private Equity Forum will unite GP’s, Institutional Investors, SME’s and many more leading experts to discuss the private equity investment climate in the emerging countries of Southeast Europe. This event will highlight fundraising concerns and how these can be overcome; operational strategies and value creation; the legal frameworks and the key role of the state in incentivising investment.An important aim of Private Equity is to help more businesses achieve their ambitions for growth by providing them not only with the finance they require, but also with strategic advice and information at critical stages of their development. Our 2012 event will highlight this fact in an exclusive ‘Investment Opportunities’ session. This session will provide Private Equity firms with the opportunity to raise awareness of the investment options available to SME’s, provide a platform for SME’s and entrepreneurs to outline investment opportunities, and discuss opportunities for investors beyond SEE, including Italy, Greece and Turkey.Key topics:Opportunities and risks investing in the SEE regionImpacts of global politics and economic trends on SEE?Addressing the regulatory and legislative climate and comparing legal frameworksImpacts of the credit crisis on PE in emerging marketsAn LP’s perspective and Requirements for FundraisingHow to successfully fundraise in Southeast Europe?Golden Rules to build and maintain a strong relationship between investor and fund managerGP’s Strategies to boost revenue from PE investmentsOperational Improvements and Cash-Flow Generation: Carve-Outs/ Consolidation/ Bolt-on acquisitionHow to increase successful Buyouts and Exits?
