26 January 2015 - The 8^th annual Finance and Investment Forum held in London last week was attended by more than 200 executives from investment companies, financiers, banks, professional services firms, together with the leadership of datacentre and cloud owning companies.

The researchers and producers BroadGroup has now announced that the forum will return to Hong Kong in the autumn of this year in what will be the 3^rd annual event.

The one-day forum brings together stakeholders and players across finance and investment including private equity firms, hedge funds, investors, bankers and analysts, with public and privately owned cloud services, carrier neutral and carrier owned operational companies, government and regional investment authorities, property interests, and law firms to assess the market outlook and identify key opportunities, types of finance available, M&A and business models.

Considered to be the “best place to take the temperature of the industry,” FIF offers several critical advantages to all attendees including exposure to key investors (providing often difficult or rare opportunities for many companies across the sector) - 30% of attendees are typically investors; exposure to key influencers (such as the key players to support fund raising or an IPO). It also offers high level analysis of the market for datacentre and cloud assets, company valuations and investor experience.
