Almost **20.000 cross-border mergers and acquisitions** have been sealed among **mid-sized companies** in the past **five years**. Cross-border transactions systematically account for one-in-three of these.

 

 

**Vlerick Business School** and **Moore Global Corporate Finance** have joined forces to gain data-driven insight in the trends that mark these movements, and bundle the conclusions in their yearly **Cross-border Mid-market M&A Compass**.

This year’s Compass offers a fascinating insight into the state of the mid-market **before, during and after Covid**. It paints a picture of a roller coaster period of pre-Covid boom, followed by a lull as the pandemic disrupted lives, businesses and economies. The average deal size in the mid-market has grown significantly to **€ 47.4 million**, whilst the total number of M&A deals slipped back **13%** **last year**. At the same time, announced **M&A activity rose** in the course of 2023, indicating a probably more robust 2024.

More detailed analysis gives further insight in industries and regions targeted, and the **growing influence of family offices**. The five year horizon confirms the **US and UK** remaining the **most active buyers** globally and in Europe, but also shows the trend of **Asian companies** becoming **more active** and of **Australia** becoming **more attractive** as a target.

**Kerstin Fehre**, **professor of Strategy at Vlerick Business School**, will be glad to share the analysis and more importantly the conclusions of her fascinating research during this **insightful webinar**. She will also be available to answer your questions.

*This webinar will be presented in English.*
