We are proud to be present at Business Talks Pop Up @ Saudi Arabia because 2020 has been very challenging for all of us confronting first time with a global Pandemic event for our generation. During the past 12 month we realize also how important are social relationship in private and in business, contributing to our personal mind wellness and to our professional development. Energy transition is a mix of improved more efficient way of consuming energy and more efficient way to produce it. We see BTM as a powerful vehicle of communication between operators and investors.

Upcoming investment in renewables such as Wind, Biogas, Hydropower, Hydrogen and few other technologies, with several projects will come to life contributing to create value and jobs involving the industry operators in different phases of the production chain. The Yachting industry is currently facing challenges to comply with new more strict rules in term of sustainability with positive impact not only on the environment but also in the manufacturing with new investment on the existing and new fleets in order to comply with the new rules.

Merger & Acquisition will become more and more a vehicle of development connecting small and medium innovative corporation to large corporations, to finance seeking finally new area of investment in order to be able to create value.

Share ideas and create synergies is our core value and therefore Business Talks is the perfect place for us to be.

In the end, I’d like to thank all the sponsors and the organizers for their fantastic job of bringing us together today.

NPD - Marco Ramundo CEO Nowadays we are experiencing an extraordinarily intense moment of social, technological and economic changes.

In particular, the super yacht industry is affected both by green technological evolution, with the advent of alternative ecosustainable propulsions, and by changes in the geographical and purchasing dynamics of UHNWs. In fact the Far East market is slowly taking shape and yacht owners living in that area will be looking for products and services tailored to their needs. Last but not least, the uncertainties brought by the pandemic are already causing changes in clients’ behaviour which will be possible to understand only over time and with a careful analysis of the all the available data. Looking at this scenario from an entrepreneurial point of view, we see great risks for companies that are not willing to react quickly and at the same time we expect great opportunities for success and growth for those who will know how to ride the wave of change.

We, at NPD, believe this moment of great changes represents a unique opportunity not to be missed for selecting high potential business opportunities and for this reason we are happy and honoured to take part in Business Talk 2021 to discuss all this with a selected and very high level audience.

INVESTING IN THE FUTURE – TRENDS IN M&A The importance of translating business needs into M&A strategy has never been more important in these uncertain market conditions; currently the valuation of assets are challenging for all investors.

In 2022, we will see a return to international transactions after a period focused mainly on domestic opportunities during the past 24 months.

It is extremely important to identify viable acquisition targets and unfortunately, there has been a lack of reliable historic data in the market to drive informed due diligence and cultural fit, which is an important driver. Risk assessment should include macro-economic trends and geographic specific environments with the US and Europe offering a solid infrastructure to welcome foreign investors.

Where structural sector disruptions offers good opportunities for investment in transportation and tourism as well as in automotive, accelerated long term transformations offer great opportunity in digitalization, e-commerce, and healthcare.

After 50 years of rapid economic growth of the modern world as we know it, there is a second and third generation of entrepreneurs. This new generation has capital largely available, are highly educated, and open to international transactions making 80% of the total M&A transaction performed globally.

This percentage is calculated taking into account deal sizes under $500 million and 60% performed by deals with value under $100 million. Looking ahead several factors are worth considering: acquisition of technologies and a company’s capabilities facing digitalization along with the new normal of consumer behavior.

Long Term 2050 – MEGA TRENDS

IT – Saas M&A activity within the technology sector occurred in the software space. Software as-a-service (SaaS) companies have experienced an extraordinary amount of interest due to their recurring revenue streams, asset-light business models, and sticky customer bases. Software services often play mission critical functions within a company’s workflow, and, without the software, operations would be significantly disrupted. Moreover, SaaS platforms can provide unparalleled scale and hypergrowth to organizations.
