Technology & Innovation
FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES CHANGE EVERYTHING. INCLUDING HOW COMPANIES GROW.
Technology is a strong growth driver
Innovation is not only the engine of progress, but also the prerequisite for continuous growth. Of course, software companies are a prime example, but product innovations from the B2B and B2C sectors, combinations of physical products and apps, and biological and chemical technology innovations are also exciting fields with impressive momentum.
There are unexpected opportunities in the niche
M&A-relevant innovations and technologies have usually been established for years and are patent-protected or based on developments that cannot be easily copied. Companies are often already leaders in a narrow niche. But there is often plenty of room for commercial success in this niche by expanding geographically or venturing into neighboring activities. Thereby companies open up little-tapped markets with abundant opportunities.
Valid strategies are always good advice
A typical transaction in this area: a strategic buyer wants to expand its value chain or product portfolio with an acquisition. This is the moment when good advice becomes important. Such acquisitions are often asset-heavy or have a high working capital requirement due to the physical nature of the products during growth.

True competence is always a combination of experience and vision
The best way to leverage the potential of technologies and innovative products in M&A transactions is to gain a deep understanding of the subject matter and the economic context of the respective area. In addition to the support of our senior advisors, we ourselves want to understand our clients’ companies in detail, especially with regard to the economic implications.
