Debate: "M&A is going to grow this year despite global uncertainties"

Get ready for a thought-provoking debate! This session will feature a passionate advocate making the case for increased M&A activity, while a challenger presents the counterargument. After hearing both perspectives, we’ll open the floor to all attendees for an interactive discussion.
Specialisation or a Broad Product Portfolio - Which Will Drive Value?
Speakers:
- Andrew Belshaw - CEO, Gamma
- Joel Chimoindes - CEO, Nuvias UC
- Andrew Reilly - CEO, Akixi
At Cavell, we’re often asked how much a company should specialise in a specific technology versus offering a broad portfolio. If a company does take the broader approach, what are the essential products and skills needed to succeed? With growing pressure to expand into areas like security, AI, and CX, the big question is: does it make strategic sense to add these to your portfolio? And if so, how do you effectively acquire the necessary expertise?
What is Seen as the Key DNA for Success?
Speaker:
- Dom Black - Growth Director, Cavell
Having worked with 100+ technology businesses across consulting, M&A advisory, and industry analysis, Cavell has a deep understanding of what drives success. In this keynote, we’ll share key insights into the essential traits and strategies that define high-performing tech companies—both today and in the future.
