Spotlight
Food delivery services provider Delivery Hero’s M&A strategy comes under the spotlight as we examine the objectives behind its acquisitions and divestments over the last two years. By investing heavily in technology and user experience, they are on the fast track to becoming a global leader in food delivery.
We continually look to accelerate growth through select M&A. We acquire businesses in our segments to give us access to additional customers and restaurants, which allows us to better tailor our products and provides us with additional logistical or technological capabilities.DELIVERY HERO SE 2017 ANNUAL REPORT
