Oaklins’ team in Sweden acted as the exclusive financial advisor to the owners of Middlecon in connection with its sale to Nion. This transaction further reinforces the team’s track record in advising entrepreneur-led IT services companies and tech-enabled services businesses, particularly in competence-driven segments such as data, analytics and AI, where strategic fit, positioning and talent considerations are central to value creation.

On a personal note, I want to express my sincere gratitude to Oaklins Sweden.
