Description

This interactive panel will explore trends in recent M&A transactions involving disruptive innovation, including experiences with established corporations acquiring/emerging technology players and/or early-stage companies to ‘supercharge’ their own development pipelines or to exert a degree of influence on the future direction of particular sectors or technologies. The panel will discuss the pros and cons of this approach as compared to joint ventures or other forms of commercial collaboration. The panel will also explore the more traditional aspects of M&A – that is, due diligence, funding and acquisition structures – and consider what challenges are faced when established companies acquire disruptive companies / technologies that are, in many cases, essentially ‘start-ups’.
