In line with our prediction, the M&A market in Poland continued to develop steadily in Q1 2017 - we recorded a total of 53 deals (5% decrease compared to Q4 2016 and 15% increase compared to Q1 2016). Transaction values were also similar to the end of the year - small and medium-sized deals dominated, but those with a value above EUR 100 million were significantly more than in the first 3 quarters of 2016.

Virtual Data Room sector tempts investors

According to a Forbes report, the Virtual Data Room industry is currently one of the 'hot industries to watch'. Experts predict that the market will continue to grow over the next 5 years and will reach a value of USD 1 trillion in 2017. The good trend for the industry is also confirmed by information from the Polish market - publicly available data shows that in Q1 2017. 25% of transactions were organised using the Virtual Data Room system, including the prestigious cross-border ones. This demonstrates the increasing professionalisation of the industry, the awareness of offerors in terms of information security and the care for appropriate standards of transaction execution. According to our observations, an increasing number of Polish clients are turning to the Virtual Data Room offered by FORDATA, being aware not only of information security, but also of the security of processed personal data (compliance with GIODO and RODO requirements), the acceleration of transaction duration compared to traditional paper due diligence, and the awareness of a Polish brand offering a world-class VDR solution.
