3rd Annual Hong Kong M&A Forum 2021 | Mergermarket Limited | 1 December 2021 | The St. Regis & Online, One Harbour Drive, Wan Chai, Hong Kong

In the wake of a fast changing macroeconomic environment brought by the pandemic, geopolitical tensions and increased regulatory scrutiny, deal making activity across Asia-Pacific seems to be gathering steam after an understandably flat year. Although some regions are attracting more deals than others, the outlook looks good amid record dry powder by private equity, rise of SPACs and resilient corporates looking to capitalise from the increased digitalization in the region.

Co-hosted by Mergermarket and AVCJ, the third Hong Kong M&A Forum returns in 2021 and brings together leading corporate investors, senior advisors, regulators and private equity professionals from across the region for a day of in-depth discussions and insights into the latest regulatory, risk and technology trends impacting on deal making in the region. The high-level editorially driven content, featuring industry leaders speaking on a wide range of important topics, will equip you with the knowledge and strategies to effectively navigate the challenges and capitalize on the opportunities in the next 12 months.

Reasons to attend:
• Discover the Asia-Pacific outlook for M&A activity in 2022 and beyond
• Understand how macro trends will impact deal making and how to future proof your strategies
• Find out what regulatory changes are shaping the future
• Learn if ESG is a game changer when it comes to deal making
• Gain an insight into what are the opportunities emerging from accelerated digitalization across the region
• Gather the latest regional and sectoral report on M&A activity and outlook
