Private equity has faced important qualitative changes over the past few years: deals have become smaller, there is a growing interest in SMEs and the use of leverage has decreased. At the same time, the average holding period has increased, players have become more concentrated on their portfolio companies, with a renewed interest in the creation of a real, not purely financial value.
The 5th annual unquote" Italia Private Equity Congress held in English focused on these important qualitative changes and how they can open new opportunities for the Italian market. A combination of interactive panel sessions and expert presenters debated the fundraising climate, dual-track exit strategies, value creation, internationalisation of Italian funds, and much more.
