Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, August 11, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Following their exclusive selection as the only UAE-based company to present at MillionaireAsia’s high-net worth member seminar in Singapore on July 30th, Private Equity Consultancy Grace Century has announced it is in advanced discussions with up to four new investment funds exclusively in the Asian market.
In particular, Grace Century's bio banking project, Provia Laboratories, LLC received much market interest which has been the principle driver of the potential involvements. Additionally, two dental chains have also shown a keen interest in participating in Provia Laboratories’ dental stem cell biobank project, Store-A-Tooth™.
"Asian funds seem to be much more open-minded with regard to early-growth companies and embracement of the opportunities afforded by innovative technology developments, which is a category Provia Laboratories certainly falls into. This is a refreshing and exciting barometer of market confidence, and I have high hopes that this will lead to a rapid Asian market penetration."
Scott Wolf, CEO, Grace Century
Talking about the MillionaireAsia Event, Wolf said “There is a remarkable contrast in Singapore, in comparison to the interest shown to game-changing investment opportunities typically expressed by U.S.-based funds. In my 30+ years experience, I have found that American funds are usually more adverse when it comes to participating in early stage life science and health related private equity projects, however the Asian funds I spoke to seemed to be much more open-minded with regard to early-growth companies and embracement of the opportunities afforded by innovative technology developments, which is a category Provia Laboratories certainly falls into. This is a refreshing and exciting barometer of market confidence, and I have high hopes that this will lead to a rapid Asian market penetration.”
Whilst in Singapore, Provia’s CEO Howard Greenman and Wolf also entered into initial discussions about a second laboratory in the GCC area and research into this project has now commenced, which is a clear demonstration of the success Provia Laboratories have already enjoyed and paves the way for future growth.
Greenman and Wolf will again visit Singapore, their trip coinciding with the city-state’s 50th Anniversary of Independence in mid-August, to further consolidate the new fund interest.
