PODCAST: "Venture Capital Trends for 2008"

—Brian Hughes and Packy Kelly, coleaders of KPMG's venture capital practice, are interviewed by GEN's Editor-in-Chief, John Sterling.

WHEN: February 28—March 6, 2008

Venture capitalists will primarily direct their investments to the greentech and biotech industries during 2008, while China and India remain hot destinations for venture funds, according to a recent survey by the U.S. audit, tax, and advisory firm KPMG.

During this week's GEN podcast, KPMG's Brian Hughes and Packy Kelly talk about whom the company surveyed and discuss key findings of the study. They describe the major trends driving VC interest in emerging markets and in eco-friendly, life science, and medical technologies. Hughes and Kelly also provide details on the geographical areas in the U.S. where capital will be invested this year and comment on what investors foresee in terms of merger and acquisition activity in 2008.
