Flush with their 2006 successes, venture capital firms will be forced to unload large amounts of liquidity - which they will need to re-invest. With vibrant European markets, the emerging markets of the Middle East, India, Asia and Africa experiencing tremendous growth and China open to further expansion; competition to attract such funds is intense.
