Following recent changes to Australia’s Significant Investor Visa immigration program, many potential investment migrants are understandably concerned about the mandated Venture Capital component.

This Demystifying Venture Capital workshop as part of the week-long Think Global delegation to the Asian Financial forum, is being hosted by Stacey Martin, arguably Australia’s most prominent SIV specialist, and author of “Smooth Road to Travel – China to Australia.”

The morning networking and seminar will provide a unique opportunity for local  migration agents, advisors, clients and other industry participants to learn from the Invest in Australia mission delegates about the new mandated sectors of venture capital and small companies, as well as a range of services to support SIV Applicants.
