A reporter in Japan quoted Nikkei - Japan's leading economic and financial newspaper - as saying that investment funds in this country are increasingly interested in Vietnamese enterprises, especially those operating in new growth fields such as pharmaceuticals and information technology.
Recently, through the DI Asian Industrial Fund LP, Dream Incubator Inc Venture Capital Fund and Orix Group purchased 31% of shares of Japan-Vietnam Medical Equipment Company, a Vietnamese medical equipment wholesaler.

Some sources said that the first investment of the above units in this medical equipment company is from about 600-800 million yen (equivalent to 77-102 million USD).
As planned, DI Asian Industrial Fund LP will appoint a director to join the executive board of Nhat Viet Medical Equipment Company and help strengthen the partnership between this company and Japanese medical equipment manufacturers.
Meanwhile, CyberAgent Ventures Inc, a venture capital fund of CyberAgent Inc, has acquired shares of NCT Corp - the company operating the largest music sharing website in Vietnam. The investment aims to expand NCT Corp's business content through CyberAgent Inc's experience and network technology.
By attracting more investment capital, CyberAgent Ventures Inc. is trying to increase its investment capital to 1.6 billion yen (about 20 million USD) and step up investment in growing companies in Southeast Asia, especially in Vietnam and Indonesia./.
