Under the name Gamechangerz, Gwynt regularly organizes events and workshops on current topics. This time, the topic is M&A.
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 ING, Navitas Capital, and Hai, will host an exclusive Gamechangerz event for executives, entrepreneurs, and investors. During this interactive afternoon, we’ll guide 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?
During this session, experts from the fields of M&A, financing, and integration will share their insights and practical experiences. Using concrete examples, they will demonstrate where value is created, where it can be lost, and which factors are key to success.
After the plenary session, participants will break into smaller groups to tackle familiar real-world challenges. Under the guidance of experienced professionals, there will be ample opportunity to delve deeper into the topics, discuss dilemmas, and exchange experiences with peers who make similar decisions on a daily basis.
An inspiring afternoon for decision-makers who want to look beyond the deal and build sustainable value creation.
