    The volume of money invested globally in venture capital is set to top $32bn this year, more than has been seen for four years, putting investments closer to levels seen during the dotcom bubble, research by consultancy Ernst & Young has found.

    Venture capitalists in the US, Europe, China and Israel invested $25.4bn in the first three quarters this year, with $7bn expected in the final quarter.

    Last year, global investments in venture capital targets – normally defined as companies up to 10 years old – reached $30.9bn; up from $29bn in 2004, $27bn in 2003 and $28.6bn in 2002.

    Venture capital investing is increasing fastest in economies such as China and India. In India, Mr Forer pointed to the $10m investment by Sequoia Capital, one of the world's most successful venture capital funds, in AppLabs Technologies, an Indian software company.
