Deep Tech

WHEN STRENGTH, SUCCESS AND EXPERIENCE MATTER.

We are one of Europe’s largest, most experienced and successful mid-market Deep Tech M&A teams. Our clients have core capabilities in IP-rich areas like artificial intelligence, robotics, signal processing, materials and sensor applications, typically protected by patents and in-house know-how.

We advise on a range of M&A transactions in Europe and the USA from private equity and debt deals through to strategic exits. Translating the value of core technology into a strategic exit requires a specialised and refined approach. It’s where we excel.
