GERMAN SUMMIT DAY - 2nd February
Private Equity firms operating in Germany have reason to be optimistic: the asset class appears to be successfully challenging negative stereotypes. Compared with the mood in most of Europe, Germany is cited by some as a comparative idyll, and multi billion euro deals are still possible. There is continuing availability of debt finance, so the question is, how is Germany managing to fend off the ill effects of the credit crunch?
Attend the German Summit Day and meet the experts in the field as they gather together for a timely update on the current and expected performance of the market. See German Summit Day programme here
This Summit is both a private equity event and also a venture capital companies event.
MID MARKET SUMMIT DAY - 2nd February
Running for the second year, the Mid Market Summit will cover opportunities in another relatively buoyant and increasingly attractive sector for investors. However, there is no room for complacency; there are challenging times ahead for this buyout group too. This summit day will cover all the critical issues facing the mid market at a crucial time in the industry’s development. See Mid Market Summit Day programme here
