Technology Sector

Few market segments are adapting to change as quickly and frequently as the technology sector. This also applies to a buoyant consolidation movement within the industry.

Various “mega-deals” worth more than 1 bn € were completed in 2006, but it is really the mid-market technology consolidation that is heavily contributing to M&A activity, with the vast majority of all disclosed technology deals situated in this section.

Especially in a highly fragmented Europe, opportunities for mid-market consolidation in the technology industry remain attractive. As a result of constant growth, numerous medium-sized technology firms in Europe have reached a size where businesses become strategically attractive to potential acquirers.

More frequently than ever, private equity investors are heavily engaged in the technology sector and thus contribute to persistent mergers and acquisition activity, too.

Whether a company is involved in computers, electronics, internet or telecommunications, it will, with the utmost probability, be involved in a sale, merger or acquisition within the next few years.
