Especially CEE’s innovative tech companies will continue to be attractive targets with their globally competitive technology and talent pool, their relative cost advantage and their significant growth potential. All studies expect an increase of M&A and PE activity in the technology sector. Vertical AI is the next “big thing”, e-commerce technologies and cybersecurity remain attractive and we also see a shift in investors’ attitudes towards the defence and aerospace sectors where funds, but also big OEMs are also screening the market for new technologies and products. All in all, it is worth keeping an eye on the CEE tech sector in 2024, too!"

Scale within a few, or Collaborate at Scale? Yes, within Europe we could create a few of those 'One to rule them all"-types of unicorns. Or by something that feels fitting with Europe, by collaborating at scale, we create something equally big and more resilient in the process. "European firms need to focus on scale to stay competitive globally. The need for bold action is urgent, as large European companies are falling behind in investments and innovation compared to their US counterparts. Reforming the single market and implementing a common regulatory regime could help address these challenges." #innovation #energy #makeinnovationhappen
