Industry-First Tech M&A Benchmark and Analysis Report
TFmedia Corporation, the only Canadian research firm tracks in-depth information of Canadian technology mergers & acquisitions, has released its inaugural study of Canadian technology M&A activities from 2001 to 2004.
Included in the report are deal breakdowns by VC/PE backed firms vs non VC/PE backed, cross-borders deals vs domestic deals, top industry sectors, and detailed industry sectors (four year total).
Significantly, for the first time, a systematic analysis of M&A valuation ratios was introduced in Canada.
