Key takeaways from investor conferences

In the past couple of weeks, we have seen volatility return with a vengeance to the global financial markets, also affecting the unlisted environment. Despite the headlines, it is not all gloom. Some key takeaways from the conferences include:

— Continued strong interest within the international investment community for Nordic tech companies, although valuation expectations have been revised further due to increased risk premia.

— ESG continues to be a critical factor in investment decisions.

— Large regions, e.g. the Middle East and South East Asia, are less affected by the current geopolitical and inflationary crisis — and thus continue to deliver steady GDP growth.
