The APAC M&A landscape is undergoing a significant transformation. China, formerly the dominant force in dealmaking, is encountering a deceleration due to economic challenges and stringent regulatory measures. This transition is paving the way for India and Japan to emerge as the new focal points of M&A activity in the region. 

India's tech-driven economy, with its innovative startups and expanding consumer market, is attracting substantial investor capital. Simultaneously, Japan's strategic focus on outbound deals, especially in the technology and healthcare sectors, is driving a surge in cross-border transactions. How will the US elections affect the future of APAC’s dealmaking? Can China adopt a regulatory framework to foster a more attractive dealmaking environment? What are the opportunities and risks that foreign investors, as well as domestic ones, are set to face in 2025? And with the increasing number of small deals as compared to last year, how selective do advisors have to be with their sell-side mandates? 

This webinar, organised by the Financial Times in partnership with Datasite, will convene dealmakers to explore M&A activity and trends in the APAC region. The focus of the webinar will be on the opportunities and challenges that will be faced by dealmakers in 2025.
