Samil PwC Seminar on 'M&A Market Outlook and Strategy'... "A New Turning Point"

Economic and Industry Trend Outlook
Sector-specific M&A and Innovation Strategy Lecture

Samil PwC announced on the 6th that it will hold a seminar titled "Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) Market Outlook and Response Strategies, What to Prepare for in 2024?" at 3 PM on the 28th at Amore Hall on the 2nd floor of its headquarters in Yongsan-gu, Seoul.

This seminar is organized to forecast the Korean M&A market based on PwC's annual report, "2024 Global M&A Industry Trend Outlook," and to review the major economic and industrial trends of this year.

The M&A market this year is expected to pass through the tunnel of recession and reach a new turning point. With the easing of inflation and expectations of interest rate cuts, the financial market is improving, and M&A deals that were delayed due to uncertainty are expected to revive. The need for companies to transform their business models is also expected to increase.

In Part 1 of the seminar, Eunyoung Lee, Managing Director of Samil PwC Management Research Institute, will give a lecture on "2024 Economic and Industrial Trends Seen Through Keywords," and Gilju Ryu, Head of Deal Group 1, will speak on "2024 Industry-specific M&A Trends." Part 2 will cover innovation strategies through M&A. Hongdong Kim, Partner at the Business Turnaround Service (BTS) Center, will explain considerations from the perspectives of due diligence and valuation. Seongpyo Hong, Telecommunications Industry Leader, will give a lecture on "M&A Strategies in the Age of Artificial Intelligence (AI)."

Part 3 will address sector-specific M&A strategies. Yongtae Seo, Partner at the Energy Transition Center, will lecture on "Investment Strategies of the Energy Industry Toward Energy Transition," and Yungu Kwak, Mobility Team Leader, will speak on "Industrial Materials and Automobiles Led by Robotics."

Daejun Park, Head of the Deal Division at Samil PwC, said, "We expect this seminar to help not only corporate personnel preparing for M&A but also stakeholders interested in the capital market to grasp key industry trends and M&A market developments, providing insights to prepare for the future." Applications for seminar participation are available through the Samil PwC website until the 26th.
