The European Software M&A Market

24 Jul 2017

We are proud to present our Midyear Snapshot H1 2017 of the European Software Industry.

The European Software industry reported a strong increase in reported cumulated deal volume in the first half year of 2017 over the first half of 2016 by over 80%. The total number of transactions, however, increased only slightly compared to the year before. This is partly driven by Europe’s largest ever software buyout, which has taken place in H1 2017. Additionally, the last 12 months have revealed several transactions in marketing automation, underscoring industry consolidation and the need for new and innovative sales technologies. [nbsp]
