On June 5, Partinc, Patron Member of the Swedish Chamber of Commerce, proudly hosted the Chamber’s first Tech Table of the year: the M&A Forum.
Moderated by Kerstin Brodin, Innovation Manager at nlmtd, the event brought together thought leaders and experts to explore the current and future state of the European investment landscape, with a focus on M&A, software, cloud infrastructure, and growth equity.
A special thank you to our brilliant speakers:
- Jan Sundelin, Partner at Partinc, compared the M&A landscape in Europe and the U.S., noting a narrowing gap outside of U.S. mega-cap SaaS companies. He also highlighted persistent challenges around regulation and exit environments.
- Björn Håkansson, Business Development Manager at TNO, spoke on Europe’s push for cloud sovereignty, emphasising initiatives like IPCEI-CIS and Gaia-X, and the strategic importance of reducing reliance on U.S. tech infrastructure.
- Ivy Chen, Private Equity Practice Lead at Software Improvement Group, shared insights on software due diligence, AI readiness, and the hidden risks in tech investments, stressing the need for a business-aligned, data-driven approach.
- Sam Myhrman, Private Market Advisor (Nordics), highlighted Sweden’s rise as a hub for innovation, driven by a strong equity culture, robust policy support, and standout companies in AI and legal tech.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to the evening’s engaging dialogue. These conversations are key to driving real progress.
