M&A Market Developments and the Valuation Environment in Q2

A unique quarter for the valuation of Fintech companies in Germany

The positive tech market development continues in the second quarter of 2021. M&A transactions in Europe and Germany are above the previous year’s level. The German market is highly acquisitive with 152 closed transactions in Q2 and confirms the high appetite for tech companies. Q2 has been driven by new “unicorns” in the fintech segment and by additional add-on acquisitions from big corporate players.

Our M&A update analyses the current valuation environment and addresses the following topics:

The development of the M&A activity in Europe and Germany as well as insights on selected transactions in the tech sector

The development of the valuation trends in Europe for different subsegments

The performance of subsegments on the stock market

Additionally, we present one of our latest tech deals: the sale of Flexperto GmbH, a German web-based SaaS insure-tech platform for digital communication between companies and customers, to RGI S.p.A., an Italian software provider specializing on digital transformation solutions in the insurance industry.
