LONDON – Dec. 13, 2017 – PRLog — The annual global meeting of telecom, media and tech company leaders, investment bankers and merger and acquisition advisers has been expanded to meet demand for an expected surge in deal and partnership activity in 2018.
New digital business models have transformed the communications, media and tech sectors in recent years and another wave of consolidation and partnerships are expected in 2018, says specialist TMT M&A news provider TMT Finance.
“Conditions are currently very strong for another surge of M&A in the TMT sector, with large international telecom and media companies vying with technology giants, OTT players and cash-rich private equity consortium to seize the initiative with acquisitions into a range of sub-sectors across globally,” said Dominic Lowndes, Founder and Managing Director of TMT Finance. “Business model shifts are leading to significant portfolio realignment which is generating both buy and sell opportunities and bankers and advisers are especially busy. Some of the most exciting areas for transactions include telecoms infrastructure – including mobile and fixed broadband across Europe; cloud infrastructure, related software and online platform providers; managed and valued added services; media, TV, video and broadcast; Artificial Intelligence;
“We have had unprecedented demand to take part in this year’s TMT M&A Forum and we are really excited about the speaker and session line-up developing. We will announce the full agenda on January 19th,” added Lowndes.
