The market has started to see a return of M&A transactions in a big way after a quiet H1 of 2023 and with this comes plenty of opportunities for investment and growth. Join our panellists as we discuss:

- What does the M&A market look like currently? Where are some of the biggest opportunities?

- The impact stabilising rates could have on the M&A market and opportunities for financings.

- Why are valuations in many cases lower than expected?

- What new or emerging debt products could reduce buyers’ dependence on the bank market?

Please take your seats and witness the re-enactment of the most famous battle in the ancient world, now unfolding on the modern stage. Today the gods present new challenges in the form of heightened geopolitical uncertainty, sluggish economic growth, both new and ongoing conflicts, climate risks, energy security concerns, and deglobalization. How will our heroes employ the tools of export and agency finance to confront these challenges and lead their institutions to newfound glories? The audience votes to decide if the Greeks will once again triumph, or the Trojans stage an epic comeback?
