Over the past 25 years, industrial technology has become the cornerstone of modern businesses—manufacturers and service providers now act as strategic drivers of innovation for automation, optimized production and logistics, as well as disruptive development. Profound technological changes are shaping the sector, including AI-powered systems, autonomous robotics, and IoT-driven ecosystems, to name just a few examples. Breakthroughs in areas such as automation, advanced sensing, robotics, and connectivity have made industrial technology a cornerstone of highly efficient organizations.
Successful deal sourcing and execution of transactions and projects within the industrial technology sector demands more than market insight, business model acumen, and value driver analysis.
