Tech M&A has really been resilient. There’s been a lot of uncertainty the past few years, but one of the reasons for the resilience is that strategics need to keep acquiring technology companies. The large strategics can’t possibly innovate fast enough to keep up with all the changes in technology. So they’re always going to have to buy some of that technology, and buy some of that innovation. JOANNA STONE HERMAN, TMT SPECIALIST, OAKLINS
