More than half of the value of an acquisition is realized only after the deal closes. Yet the focus often remains heavily on the transaction process itself. How do you create value before the deal, and more importantly, how do you capitalize on that value afterward? During our Gamechangerz event on M&A, experts and industry practitioners will share their insights, experiences, and lessons learned from the field.
A company acquisition is just the beginning. But how do you ensure that the intended value is actually realized?
On Wednesday, October 7, 2026, Gwynt, in collaboration with Navitas Capital, Aeternus, and Hai, will host an exclusive Gamechangerz event for executives, entrepreneurs, and investors. During this interactive afternoon, we’ll take participants through the entire acquisition process: from strategic ambitions and target selection to deal structuring, integration, and sustainable value creation.
Although a great deal of attention is focused on closing the deal, in practice it turns out that the biggest challenges—and opportunities—arise right after the acquisition. How do you prevent value from being lost? Which decisions make the difference between a successful integration and a difficult process? And how do you ensure that strategy, people, and processes truly come together?
An inspiring afternoon for decision-makers who want to look beyond the deal and build sustainable value creation.
Ernst-Jan Koziolek (Navitas Capital) shares his perspective on value creation from an investor’s point of view. What do investors look for in acquisitions? What factors determine the success of an investment? And where is the most value created after the deal closes?
Featuring insights from Aeternus on the deal process, the key success factors, and common challenges in mergers and acquisitions.
Christianne (HAI) and Dennis Heijstraten (Gwynt) will guide you through the practical aspects of the merger between Albron and Hutten. They will share key lessons regarding integration, organizational development, culture, leadership, and achieving synergy in day-to-day operations.
