NANCHANG, April 15 (Xinhua) -- American venture capital firm GreyBird Ventures signed an agreement with Chinese med-tech company JF Healthcare on Monday, pledging an investment of 5 million U.S. dollars to help the company develop intelligent technologies for better diagnosis at the community level.
It is GreyBird Ventures's first investment project in the Asia-Pacific region, said Tom Miller, the firm's founder, at the signing ceremony held in Nanchang, capital of east China's Jiangxi Province.
"GreyBird Ventures decided to invest in our company after four years of evaluation," said Wu Wenhui, founder of JF Healthcare.
