Technology M&A

Delivering strategic M&A advice in the rapidly changing technology sector

Global growth in technology-sector M&A continues, driven by rapid technological advancement, changing macroeconomic conditions, and strategic shifts. Private capital investors remain active at all stages of the tech lifecycle and companies are responding to efficiency demands, evolving regulations and AI adoption by reevaluating strategies, pursuing carve-outs, and exploring consolidation opportunities. As AI drives transformation across all sectors, M&A activity is expected to broaden beyond the major tech players to include a wider range of innovators in AI, software, data, cyber security, quantum technologies, digital services and digital infrastructure.
