Show Notes
Rupert Cocke, Mergermarket’s senior editor based in Barcelona, joins Dealcast host Julie-Anna Needham to discuss the outlook for European? defense sector dealmaking including:
- Which defense-related companies have already undergone significant raises, like Multiverse Computing’s EUR 190m funding round in June
- How some private equity firms' early involvement in deep tech could help curb risks from uncertain wait times related to research and development
- Why certain firms are already bullish on investing in reconstruction and restoration in Ukraine
- Why ESG standards may be restrictive for LPs looking into defense investments and may favor more dual-use or cybersecurity focused companies
All this and more in this week’s Dealcast.
