For a venture capital fund like Accel, China represents the investment opportunity of the century. Accel is just one of the venture capital firms that are pouring money into every possible area of innovation in the country, stretching beyond technology into signage companies, fast food chains and even milk powder companies. Accel, which topped Forbe's list of venture capital firms, has recently closed two new funds in China in less than eight weeks, totaling $1.3 billion with its partner in China, the International Data Group (IDG).

Another VC fund, Matrix Partners, has also just closed a $350 million fund in China as well, which brings its total AUM in the country to $650 million. Sequoia is another VC fund with a major Chinese presence worth over a billion. It is no surprise given the intense investor interest that of the 72 IPOs to hit the market in 2010, 24 were Chinese companies.

As China's government spends billions to reverse the damage to its water resources from pollution and provide clean water to its people, water-treatment firms in the country are proving to be attractive venture capital fund targets. Private equity and venture capital firms are pouring money into these companies in hopes of high returns from a heavily subsidized industry.

China's rapidly growing water sector is valued at $48 million, currently the third largest in the world behind the US and Japan. The industry is expected to reach $150 billion over the next five years, so it's a clear choice for many fund managers looking for safe places to allocate capital. Buyout firms like Sequoia Capital China and CDH Investments are among some of the major companies that took stakes in water-treatment firms over the past few months.
