The world-first conference has been created as a response to the global

pandemic over the last 12 months, forcing Founders and Investors to quickly

become familiar with engaging over video conferencing platforms. This challenge

has quickly become an opportunity for providing companies with global access to

investors without travelling.

Deputy Director-General Sarah Pearson, Leonie Hill Capital TMT Sector Head Wee

Meng Thoo, Managing Partner of Vickers Ventures Jeff Chi, serial entrepreneur

Wholesale Investor CEO and Managing Director Steve Torso said:  

"Launching a world's first is truly a momentous challenge and achievement and

we couldn't be any prouder to bring Emergence 2021 to the global investment

community. Recognising the opportunity, our team has worked tirelessly to

coordinate over global time zones and with presenters to coordinate the world's

first global venture investment conference.

Wholesale Investor's mission is to utilise platforms, partners and technology

to bring together venture investors and emerging growth companies from around

the world. Emergence brings together the leaders and innovators who are leading

the companies of tomorrow. COVID-19 has accelerated that mission by allowing us

to place a spotlight on the global innovation and investment community.

In addition, the use of Brella's event software and AI matchmaking feature of

the event app will facilitate networking and dealmaking. Brella utilises

AI-Matchmaking to make relevant connections between Founders and Investors and

CRIISP to facilitate dealmaking. Everything we have done is to remove the

friction from the process of discovery, consideration and transactions."
