- Strategic internationalization: Cross-border build-ups and targeted relocations pave the way for stronger export and European positions.
- Technological acceleration: The modernization of production tools (automation, additive manufacturing, digitalization) is integrated into M&A projects to enhance efficiency and sustainability.
