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.
