The global mergers and acquisitions (M&A) landscape has been heating up across the technology sector, particularly within Europe. U.S.-based private equity giant KKR & Co Inc. $KKR has intensified its pursuit of German IT services provider Datagroup SE $D6H.DE, revising its acquisition proposal upward from an initial €54 to as much as €58 per share. This development not only highlights the strategic importance of IT infrastructure in the post-digital transformation era but also signals investor confidence in the long-term potential of European mid-cap tech firms.
