APAC Capital into UK & Europe
As the UK and European markets finally seem set for a resumption of activity, investors from flourishing APAC markets are on the hunt for the next hotspots - particularly with distressed opportunities and potential for expansion. Meanwhile, European investors are increasingly eyeing APAC markets for their strong growth indicators and favourable exchange rates.
Join industry leaders from both regions to understand the sectoral dynamics and geopolitical factors that will be crucial for leveraging cross-border deal flow.
