The M&A Watch: Eastern Europe – Oct. 2021 Coverage

By Carolina D'Alencon | November 5, 2021

M&A WATCH: EASTERN EUROPE  – OCT. 2021 COVERAGE

Our monthly M&A Watch spotlights deals in the Information Technology industry throughout Eastern Europe.

This month, we highlight 6 deals across Eastern Europe within the IT Services vertical. Notably, there were several active strategic and private equity buyers including H.I.G. Capital, Xebia, KKR, and Atos who were able to get deals across the goal line. Moving into the last couple months of the year, 7MA believes there will be a big push to close deals across the region. Overall, the global interest in Eastern European IT Services companies remains high and buyers continue to be intrigued by the high concentration of IT/Software talent, timezone advantage, and agile delivery methods.
