| Research Abstract |
Venture capital industries as well as venture business in East Asia have been catered for by their governments as a strategic industry after heavy & chemical industrialization. In Japan, few science-engineering graduates have traditionally been engaged in financial institutions except their information processing fields. However, in recent years, they have been employed by venture capital and have contributed to properly evaluate high-tech venture business although their roles are still limited. Taiwan has been successful in the development of high-tech industries such as IT by calling back students studying abroad. Venture capital in Taiwan contributed to list venture business and constitute financial holding company groups as a member. In Korea, since '97 Asian financial crisis, the government has promoted venture capital and venture business. However, after the IT bubble collapse, venture capital has been stagnant and at present their business conditions are recovering. Venture capitals in Taiwan, Korea and Japan positively have invested in China, together with the US and other countries' venture capital through offshore finance centers such as the Cayman Islands. Venture capitals in East Asia have worked in the international network and played the active role of combining technology and finance.
