New Opportunities for Private Capital & Growth

The European mid-market, typically defined by revenues between €10 million and €1 billion or enterprise values from €50 million to €500 million, is a vital engine for the continent's economy, and a dynamic segment ripe with opportunity. While comprising a modest 1.5% of all companies in Europe's four largest economies, it collectively generates around one-third of private sector revenue and GDP, employing 32 million people, with strong performance consistently seen across sectors such as technology, healthcare, and industrials.

For Private Equity firms, the European mid-market is a cornerstone of their investment strategy, and M&A advisory firms find a consistent flow of mandates due to the high volume of transactions. Also, with a funding gap created by the retreat of traditional banks, Private Credit lenders are able to achieve significant risk-adjusted returns by providing crucial, flexible financing, capitalizing on market fragmentation and a strong demand for tailored capital solutions.

This event brings together Strategic Buyers, Private Equity Funds, and both Alternative and Traditional Lenders, to discuss the latest market trends, and make new business connections.  If you would like to consider attending, please contact us now to discuss joining options.
