Seminar on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) between Europe and Asia, exploring the opportunities and challenges of cross-border transactions.

The Kansai Desk is organizing a seminar dedicated to mergers and acquisitions (M&A), led by Yvon Russon, Strategic Partner at Vitaliway.

With nearly 30 years of experience in Asia, including 25 years spent building and operating businesses in the region, Yvon Russon will provide practical insights into cross-border mid-market M&A transactions between Europe and Asia. He will also share first-hand experience of the commercial realities in both markets, as well as the practical factors that can influence the progress and outcome of a transaction.

A Q&A session over drinks will give participants the opportunity to engage directly with the speaker and ask specific questions.

Who Should Attend?

Japanese business owners and executives with international operations or considering overseas expansion, acquisitions, strategic partnerships or a potential sale to an international buyer.
French, European and other international business leaders operating in Japan or Asia and looking to explore investment, acquisition or strategic partnership opportunities in the region.
Advisers and professionals involved in cross-border transactions, including lawyers, accountants, tax and financial advisers, consultants, financial institutions and business association representatives.

Why Attend?

Identify emerging opportunities: Understand the trends driving Japanese outbound investment and why Japan represents an attractive acquisition market for international investors.
See things from the buyer's perspective: Discover what European buyers look for when evaluating Japanese companies, and how to assess acquisition targets, strategic fit and potential risks.
Avoid common pitfalls: Gain practical insights from real transactions into cross-cultural negotiations, regulatory challenges and post-acquisition integration.
