What Will VC Look Like In 2050?

Although Australia's first VC fund was established in 1970, venture capital didn't truly take off in Australia until the mid 90s - and even then it was a far cry from where we are now. Today, we are home to more than 70 funds, and last year alone $3.6b of capital was raised to back our region's most ambitious founders. So what's in store for the future? In this session we'll discuss the challenges, opportunities and trends that are shaping the future of VC, and dust off our crystal balls to explore what Venture Capital could look like in Australia in 2050.
