Emerging industries maintain solid growth

Investment companies are looking more to emerging industries for opportunities amid the slowing Chinese economy.

Emerging industries - such as the photovoltaic, new material and new energy industries, Internet and medical equipment industries - have sustained steady growth despite the stagnant global investment trend, said Zhang Wei, a partner in Guangzhou Hiway Capital Partners.

Zhang was speaking at the Invest in China 2012 Emerging Industry Development Forum and Project Capital Matchmaking, hosted by the organizing committee of the 16th China International Fair for Investment and Trade on Sunday in Xiamen, Fujian province.
