“Acquisition Success Through Practical Experience”
Looking Back on our Interactive Full-Day M&A Seminar: “Successful Acquisitions – Strategies & Methods”
On June 12, 2025, we had the pleasure of welcoming entrepreneurs, finance and industry experts, and decision-makers from across the Swiss SME landscape to our full-day seminar “Successful Acquisitions – Strategies & Methods” at the Radisson Blu Hotel at Zurich Airport.
The practice-oriented workshop provided key success factors for the acquisition process — from strategic definition to final contract negotiation.
Learning Objectives & Highlights
- Interactive Case Studies: Participants engaged with real-life acquisition scenarios and actively took on the role of either buyer or seller.
- Experience-Based Insights: Our experts shared lessons learned from real transactions, sparking lively exchange and discussion among participants.
- Concise theoretical input combined with immediate application — every topic was purposefully aligned with real-life M&A challenges.
Impressions from the Day
A special thank you goes to our two guest speakers:
- Dr. Oliver Künzler, a partner at Wenger Plattner, who delivered a concise and practice-oriented overview of the legal framework surrounding M&A transactions, and...
- Philipp Gast, Head of Corporate Finance at Swisscom Ventures, who shared valuable insights into integration challenges and day-to-day transaction realities — illustrated with compelling examples, including the Swisscom–Vodafone Italy deal.
All participants will receive a personalized certificate of attendance as confirmation of their enhanced knowledge in the field of business acquisitions.
A heartfelt thank you to all participants for their active contributions and the inspiring discussions throughout the day — and during the networking reception that followed!
Our speakers are happy to remain available for further exchange and discussion.
