“TMT” Sector Overview
TMT is Europe’s most active M&A sector — but not every TMT company is valued the same. What we see in our deals: the gap between subsectors is growing, and the drivers of value are shifting fast.

“Technical services companies with scarce certifications are in a different league. We recently saw a fire safety specialist attract 12 serious buyers in three weeks — not because of size, but because of permits nobody else has.”

“In logistics, contract duration is the hidden multiplier. A 3+ year contract base adds 1.0-1.2x to your multiple — not because the revenue is larger, but because buyers can model it. What we see consistently: specialization beats scale. A cold chain specialist at €8M outvalues a generalist at €20M.”

“Services businesses are deeply personal — buyers know that. The ones that prove they can run without the founder consistently attract 30% more serious offers.”
