Welcome to our Monthly Business Technology Pulse!
In the Business Technology Pulse, we look at recent trends and performance within each theme and the outlook for the future. We delve into the top M&A and fundraising deals in Europe and look at the financial performance of public companies in each core theme, giving us an insight into the current industry landscape.
🔥 Key Highlights for December include:
Regulatory, Legal, and Compliance showed strong resilience in 2024, driven by an increasingly complex regulatory landscape and a steadily digitising legal industry.Â
Business Process Automation Tech has seen a booming H1 in 2024, with the emergence of GenAI and the diversification of its use cases. 2025 should uncover DeepSeek’s impact on this vertical.Â
Tax & Accounting Tech have been consolidating in 2024, mostly driven by PE-backed strategic acquirers (e.g. IRIS Software acquiring Dext in Dec24).Â
HR & Payroll also presents AI use cases that could revolutionise the space, but existing providers are yet to be challenged by an AI-led emerging leader.
Check out these and other key trends and deals in Europe neatly summarised in our Business Technology Dashboard:
