YES Corporate Finance participated in the multi-day AICA Global Meeting 2024 in Thailand as a member of AICA, our international Corporate Finance network.
During the meeting, dealmakers from M&A offices from over 55 firms discussed many potential acquisition and growth capital projects. Additionally, there was time to improve collaboration among members, attend lectures by companies and investors with an active acquisition strategy, and have one-on-one meetings between members.
Notable news highlights:
- M&A deal flow is expected to pick up in 2024. Reason: lower interest rates and more positive economic outlooks.
- DH Advisory, based in Dubai, has joined AICA. For more information, see the DH Advisory website (see: https://www.dhcorporateservices.com/). DH Advisory focuses on M&A (supporting buy and sell transactions) and strategic advice for a select group of clients such as the well-known local Family Offices in the UAE, including Dubai. The Managing Director has worked for a long time in the City of London at Big4 in M&A.
- AICA is an international network in more than 31 countries with 500+ dealmakers. In 2023, more than 260 transactions were successfully completed with a total value of $6.0 billion. More information: https://yescf.nl/netwerk/
- In November 2024, the next network meeting will be organized by YES CF in Rotterdam. We look forward to welcoming our EMEA partners to our port city in November!
