HOME / OUR SECTORS
We focus on three sectors where the convergence of science, technology and capital creates the most compelling opportunities. We know these markets from the inside — our advice is grounded in experience, not observation.
Small and mid-cap biotechnology companies are experiencing a period of exceptional activity. Falling interest rates are supporting valuations, while large pharmaceutical groups — under pressure to replace revenues as major patents expire — are competing aggressively for quality assets. The result is an M&A environment as active as any since 2021. AI-driven drug discovery and precision diagnostics are adding a further layer of value to companies with proprietary clinical data.
Spain is Europe's leading renewable energy generator, with over 80 GW of installed capacity and renewables now accounting for more than 50% of annual electricity production. The challenge in 2026 is no longer generation — it is management: battery storage, grid digitalisation and system flexibility are the new focus of capital investment. Green hydrogen is gaining traction as an energy vector for hard-to-electrify sectors, while cross-border interconnections are opening new opportunities for private capital.
El software es el sector más activo en M&A a nivel global. En 2025 se batió el récord histórico de transacciones SaaS, con la IA como denominador común en el 72% de las operaciones. El ecosistema español de software vertical está madurando rápidamente: compañías con ingresos recurrentes sólidos, modelos de datos propietarios y posicionamiento en nichos industriales específicos atraen a compradores internacionales y fondos de private equity con capital récord para desplegar. En 2026, las compañías con IA genuinamente integrada en su producto son las que comandarán las mejores valoraciones.
In 2026, businesses with AI genuinely embedded in their product — rather than bolted on — will command the strongest valuations.
