Details

Economic uncertainty, a higher rate environment, reassessed valuations, and increased regulatory pressure have understandably incentivized risk-averse behavior, resulting in a halt in M&A activities since 2021, which was the highest year on record.

Yet research shows that companies taking a "through-cycle" approach to M&A outperform their peers - including by adding new products or services best suited to a changing environment and by taking advantage of lower valuations. Successful acquirers also rely on string in-house integration capabilities to capture the full deal potential while reducing risks.

This Conference addresses targeted strategies so that companies can effectively drive transformation by successfully adding new capabilities.
