About Us Introduction Acquisition International is excited to announce the return of the prestigious M&A Awards in 2023! Now in its seventh year, the M&A Awards has become a cornerstone of the annual AI awards offering. Since 2016, the team at Acquisition International has been dedicated to shining a light on the top advisors, analysts, investment bankers, and legal professionals operating in the M&A space. After hitting a record high in 2021, last year saw overall deal value fall as a result of various market pressures and an increasingly challenging economic environment. M&A professionals had to quickly adapt to rising inflation, unstable interest rates, and tense international relations in order to close deals and sustain activity in the market. The threat of recession and ongoing costof-living crisis has led to greater uncertainty in M&A outcomes and made it more difficult for buyers to access financing. This has forced dealmakers to find inventive ways to create value from M&A transactions. The use of alternative funding methods, thorough pre-sale preparation, portfolio reshaping, and bold, transformative deals are just some examples of this innovative approach. While many of the headwinds present in 2022 have continued to have an impact this year, there is growing optimism regarding M&A market outlook for the remainder of 2023 and into the coming years. General consensus is that economic pressures will ease throughout the year, with lower energy prices one factor creating a more stable M&A environment. There are many buyers and sellers who are becoming eager to complete deals as these conditions improve, and the small deals segment has continued to perform at an impressive pace. Mid-market transactions are expected to be the dominant deal type going forward, with these smaller deals being important motivators of growth and transformation throughout the M&A market.
