The semiconductor industry is booming, with fabs being built across the globe. This rapid growth is being driven by AI, communication, and automotive electronics. More than €45bn will be invested in new fabs in Europe. Nonetheless, growth funding is scarce in Europe. However, this offers a prime chance to sell a growing and profitable company, as buyers from Europe, the US and Asia are looking to further consolidate the market. Philipp Schlueter, an M&A advisor with focus on the semicon sector, will talk about valuations in the semicon and semicap market, growth financing, and the consolidation appetite of international buyers.
