Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (DTT) , 2006

   The survey’s results indicate a very positive story for venture capital (VC) around the world in 2006. Although it looks as though the intersection of mature and emerging VC markets is imminent, the responses suggest that VCs are moving cautiously to select the right business models for a global approach to finding opportunities that will generate better returns for their investors. The 2006 results reinforce the overall messages from last year's survey, the first of its kind.

Some key findings emerging from this year's survey are:

• Over half of all the respondents come from outside the United States, which gives some indication of the growing profile of global VC communities.
• Over half of all respondents—53 percent of those in the United States and 58 percent non-U.S.—are set on global expansion in the coming year.
• VCs are increasingly viewing strategic alliances and international interdependence as a key method of globalization. (Seventy-five percent of non-US and 71 percent of U.S. respondents viewed these as key to success.) 

The survey was undertaken in 2006 and is based on responses from partners at firms in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific. It is presented by the Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (DTT) Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT) Industry Group, made up of the TMT practices of DTT's member firms.
