2022 / 2023: Challenges and solutions keep evolving: What is next?

The M&A market is hot, with current M&A trends indicating an upcoming run. But that doesn’t mean next year will come without challenges.
We are not in a "post"-COVID world yet, and the world is coming to terms with the fact that this new reality has impacted much of how business is conducted and has created challenges to which dealmakers have learned to adapt. The more challenging the environment becomes, the more vital M&A will be.

M&A market

Corporate finance trends in 2022 look promising. 2021 has been a historic year for M&As. And if trends are any indication, the market will continue to grow.

Life sciences

The volume of M&A transactions in the Life Sciences sector reached a record high in 2021. It has been driven by the strong availability of capital and by the epidemic environment who underlined the importance of the sector.

Technology, Deep-Tech

Quantum Computing: A new standard of processing capability can advance artificial intelligence and data analytics capabilities. This excessive computing power allows companies to solve problems that have rarely been solved before.

Technology talents

Companies face great challenges recruiting and retaining tech talent. This is partly explained by the demand for flexibility of remote work and especially by the enormous increase in demand for this type of talent by companies. The position of Acropolis Associates in both Executive Search and Corporate Finance allows our clients to benefit from a synergy of skills.

Industrial

We expect deal activity in 2022 to remain robust as buyers and investors continue to invest in new technologies. Rising commodity costs and global supply chain disruptions have impacted businesses. We expect the automation sector to thrive because demand is strong, driven by labor shortages and rising costs.
