Description
Although the transformation of Latin American companies began 20 years ago, as local business leaders began to perceive the need to embrace globalisation for growth and sustainability, multilatinas’ outbound M&A activity grew particularly strongly after 2003. Brazilian, Mexican and Chilean companies lead this expansion. This session will explore the challenges and opportunities that multilatinas face when they enter M&A transactions to expand their business across the region and beyond.
