An increasingly complex economic, political and regulatory landscape has created hesitancy amongst European dealmakers, leading to a slowdown in deal activity in the region. But low interest rates and the availability of distressed assets also creates new acquisition prospects as organisations review their portfolios, develop new business models and invest in new markets.

In the current business climate, generating transformative value requires confidence as well as meticulous planning. How can deal teams find new ways to create value throughout the deals cycle and improve synergies and overall outcomes? How can deal performance be tracked to create tangible progress indicators? In the long-term, how can M&A be better aligned with broader strategic goals, to become a tool that supports and enables business transformation?

Hosted under the Chatham House rule, this exclusive roundtable lunch discussion will bring together a select group of business leaders and corporate representatives from the region to consider new strategies for optimising value from deals.
