non-core businesses into growth opportunities

How many healthy, profitable businesses with significant growth potential risk losing value simply because they are no longer strategic to their parent companies? And what if a divestment, rather than marking the end of a journey, could become the beginning of a new chapter of growth? Together with entrepreneurs, executives, investors and advisors, we will explore an often-overlooked segment of the m&a market: corporate carve-outs, transactions that allow large corporations to refocus on their core businesses while giving divested companies access to new ownership, fresh capital and renewed growth opportunities. Through three real-life case studies — Itasprings, Aketis and Sall — we will discover how permanent capital can unlock the hidden potential of non-core businesses, enabling them to thrive as independent companies without the pressure of a predetermined exit horizon. An opportunity to understand where value lies in corporate divestitures, how to identify it and how to turn it into compelling investment opportunities, while engaging directly with the people who have successfully executed these transactions. And, of course, an excellent opportunity to network with leading players in the m&a and private capital markets.
