ICA, a leading investor relations advisory firm, is pleased to announce the completion of the ICA Asia Insights Forum, the company’s five-day flagship event, on September 21st – 25th, 2020.
ICA Asia Insights Forum brought together over 130 public companies traded on stock exchanges in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the United States, Thailand, and Indonesia. The forum provided vital industry leaders and high-growth companies from TMT, fintech, consumer, healthcare, education, energy, industrial, and transportation sectors with a transparent capital market communication platform. To name a few international players: Zoom Video Communications, SF Holding, China Yangtze Power, ZhongAn Online P&C Insurance, Hua Hong Semiconductor, Yonghui Superstores, and Berli Jucker.
Tech and biotech became prevailing themes at the forum. Investors prioritize 1-on-1 meetings with these companies. Biotech and pharmaceutical companies benefitted from Listing Rule 18A of HKEx, which drew significant attention from Chinese and international investors. As biotech companies are also expected to grow in the post-COVID era steadily, meeting requests flooded in.
“The forum was widely welcomed by IROs and investors alike. It was our pleasure to connect the management team of multiple burgeoning companies to portfolio managers and investment analysts.” Kevin Yang, Founder and CEO of ICA, commented. “There are many hidden champions across emerging markets, especially Greater China. They are equipped with solid R&D and business development capabilities. As they are deeply rooted in the market, we believe huge potential awaits discovery. ICA is committed to establishing further an inclusive capital market communication platform that should expedite the successful and sustainable growth of small- and mid-cap companies across Asia.”
ICA Asia Insights Forum gathered more than 500 institutional investors from Europe, the U.S., Hong Kong, Singapore, and Southeast Asia – the investors are mainly from world-leading asset management institutions, insurance companies, multi-billion hedge funds, and emerging market boutique funds.
