Full Overview
Dealmaking activity in the EMEA region is stagnating at a 10-year low as high-interest rates majorly impact private equity activity, and a more challenging competition law environment deters companies from pursuing rivals. The decrease in volume of big deals worth over 10bn euros has been particularly evident, dropping around 40 per cent over the first nine months of the year compared with the same period in 2022.
Venture capitalists have had to navigate a number of challenges over the past year, as private market valuations on several prominent start-ups have been dramatically marked down to reflect tough macroeconomic conditions. However, dealmakers remain optimistic that activity will pick up in 2024, with revived activity in IPOs, fundraising, and mid-market acquisitions. What will be the most prominent trends and strategies in the market revival in EMEA? Is this optimism justified?
This webinar, organised by the Financial Times in partnership with Datasite, will convene dealmakers to explore M&A activity and trends in the EMEA. The focus of the webinar will be on the opportunities and challenges that will be faced by dealmakers in 2024.
