The panel explored a broad range of opportunities and challenges associated with thematic investment strategies, with particular attention to how these approaches are being reshaped by evolving market conditions in the DACH region in 2026.

In addition, the panel examined the increasingly complex interaction between commercial objectives and legal considerations, especially within the regulatory environment impacting mergers and acquisitions.
