Datasite Dealmakers Dialogues has become one of the leading M&A events in Switzerland, and we were delighted to have our Managing Partner, Raymund Bareuther, join a distinguished panel of speakers.

Many thanks to Markus Schiller, Zhanina Panova, Zéa Girod, and the entire Datasite team for organizing such a high‑quality event.

The discussions on today’s challenging market environment, the strategic priorities of Swiss and European companies, and the implications for M&A in 2026 were truly insightful. It was equally inspiring to explore how AI will shape the coming years for both corporates and the wider M&A industry.​​​​‌‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‌‍​‌‍‌‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‌‍‌​‍​‍​‍​​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‌‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌​‌‌​‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌​‍‌‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‍​‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌​‍‍‌‍​‌‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍‍‌‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‌‍​‌‍‌‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌​‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌‌​​‍‌​​‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‌​‍​‌‍​​‍‌‌​‍‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‍​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‍‍​​​‌‌‍​‌‍‍‌​‍‍‌‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‌​​‍‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‍​‌‍​‍​‌​‌‌‌​‍‌‌‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‍​‌‍‍​‌​‌‍‍‍‌‌‍​​‌​​​‌​‍​‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌​​‍​‌‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌‍​‌‍‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌‍​‌‍‌‌‌​​‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‍​‍‍​​​​‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‌​​‍​‍‌‌

Momentum is building again
Q3/Q4 show a constructive M&A environment on both the buy-side and sell-side, despite geopolitical uncertainty.

Private Equity is waking up
Deals like Advent’s acquisition of u-blox signal private equity deals and mid-market transactions are picking up again in the Swiss market.

Geopolitical factors are reshaping decisions
A strong Swiss franc, shifting tariff landscapes, and production relocation strategies continue to influence deal activity.

AI is quietly transforming the M&A value chain
Not by replacing people, but by freeing them. Integrated AI solutions are reducing repetitive tasks, accelerating analysis, and giving advisors more time for what matters: strategy, narrative, and client relationships.

The networking breakfast before and after the panel provided an excellent opportunity to connect, exchange ideas, and learn from those at the forefront of dealmaking.

Thank you for having us!
