In a tough year for global M&A markets, Translink Corporate Finance thrived, closing 126 deals worth over €2 billion—an impressive 44% increase from 2023. Our focused growth strategy and sector expertise drove these results, even as the market contracted.
Key Highlights:
1. Industrials led the way, representing 35% of our deals, followed by TMT (20%), Professional Services (15%), and Healthcare (13%).
2. We supported numerous private equity-driven initiatives, including SaaS buy-side projects with HG Capital’s Visma in Southern Europe.
3. Our Dutch team merger with AenF positioned us as a top 10 M&A mid-market firm in the Benelux region.
Tero Nummenpää, Chairman of Translink Corporate Finance Board, shares:
“Our strategy to focus on specific sectors is delivering results: deal volumes are rising despite the declining M&A market. Sectors like TMT and Healthcare continue to grow, driven by global megatrends. Nearly a third of our deals were cross-border, underscoring the value of our international footprint.”
