Dealmakers Dialogues Warsaw: Poland M&A Headwinds and Horizons in 2025

September 09, 2025 | Live Event

  • Event Date: Tuesday, 9 September
  • Event Time: 08:00 am - 11:00 am
  • Event Location: NOBU Hotel, Wilcza 73, 00-670 Warsaw, Poland

Despite ongoing political and economic uncertainty such as new tariffs around the world last year, M&A in Poland remained remarkably resilient. But while some global uncertainty has now settled, new issues have arisen. Will Polish M&A momentum continue in 2025 and beyond? What sectors and types of deals are shaping M&A there this year? What will be the biggest challenges for dealmakers going forward? How are PE funds responding to new risks and barriers?

Join us at NOBU Hotel at Datasite’s Dealmakers Dialogues series for an engaging breakfast and networking session with market leaders and dealmakers, where we’ll take a close look at M&A deal activity, trends, and opportunities.

 

At this breakfast session, you’ll have a chance to: 
  • Network with peers, colleagues & dealmakers in the region
  • Hear from an expert panel of Polish M&A market leaders
  • Share your views about the current state of M&A and how the year is shaping up
  • Learn how investors currently assess Poland and the CEE region, and how they view Western markets in terms of investment strategies and opportunities
Topics Covered:
  • Poland and CEE Reimagined 
    How are geopolitical changes - from ongoing conflicts to evolving trade policies - reshaping investment flows and M&A activity in Central and Eastern Europe? With defense emerging as a “hot” sector, how are private equity funds adapting to new risks, regulations, and barriers to entry?
  • Quo Vadis, Entrepreneur I - Inside the Exit 
    A deep dive into the M&A journey from the perspective of entrepreneurs and private equity: exploring succession planning, strategic exits, and IPO readiness.
  • Quo Vadis, Entrepreneur II -  The Investor’s View 
    How do investors perceive the current state of Poland and the broader CEE region? As interest shifts toward Western markets, "buy & build" strategies are gaining momentum - but what drives investor confidence in these opportunities?
