Topical event

Want to keep a finger on the pulse of trends and challenges in the Belgian merger and acquisition market? Then clear your schedule to attend the most anticipated event in the M&A calendar. We’ll be unveiling the results of the 13th edition of our annual M&A Monitor. It gets under the skin of recent deals – and reveals first-hand experiences of experts and advisors. Join us for an unmissable opportunity to explore trends and expectations for the previous and coming year.

This year’s monitor dives into key questions around motives and value creation. The study also turns the spotlight onto the deal process and valuation by distinguishing between different types of deals, from strategic acquisitions to add-ons and buyouts.

Vlerick’s Professor Mathieu Luypaert, Director of the Centre for Mergers, Acquisitions and Buyouts, will present the Monitor’s findings. He’ll be joined by a panel of industry experts who’ll share their interpretation of the results – as well as insights on the current state of the M&A market.

Register now to join a wide range of professionals involved in the purchasing, sales and buy-out market at this must-attend event.
