NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

An important event is coming up for investors interested in the booming, capital-hungry markets of India, China, South Africa and other emerging economies: The Emerging Markets Private Equity Association is hosting its annual forum in London November 30th through December 1st.

EMPEA is a useful resource for understanding venture capital and equity trends in countries that are gaining attention as leaders in alternative fuels, IT and a slew of other sectors. My experience with them has mostly been from the angle of understanding what excites and concerns investors about moving money into the countries where we work.

This conference will allow various members of the financial community to network and gain insight from speakers affiliated with groups ranging from McKinsey to the IFC. Get details here.
