Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT) is expected to remain the dominant sector for mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity in Ireland.

Innovative and disruptive technologies in particular will continue to drive interest and fuel activity in this space. There is also increased deal volumes across business and financial services and a notable increase in interest levels in industrials, particularly precision engineering businesses at the intersection of life sciences and healthcare and those businesses servicing the data centre industry.
