Fireside Chat: M&A in the European Tech Sector: Opportunities, Risks, and Market Dynamics

Mergers and acquisitions are accelerating across the European tech channel, driven by demand for specialised services in AI, cybersecurity, and data. This session examines how these shifts are redefining acquisition targets, the importance of recurring revenue models for private equity, and the critical role of second-level management and succession planning. We'll explore how decentralised acquisition models impact integration, why IP and specialised service offerings boost valuation, and how smaller providers are responding to increasing complexity through consolidation.

Ransomware, Wrecked: How MSPs Are Winning the Cyberwar with Intercept-X

Ransomware isn’t just a threat—it’s an all-out war on your clients’ data, your reputation, and your bottom line. As an MSP, you’re on the frontlines. So, how do you fight back without burning out or breaking the bank? In this high-impact session at Xchange EMEA in Noordwijkerhout, we’ll show you how to turn the tables on attackers using Intercept X with CryptoGuard, the multi-vector ransomware killer built for the modern MSP stack. Learn how to spot threats others miss, stop attacks mid-stream, and sleep at night knowing your clients are covered—even when the unexpected hits.

Detection is nice, Prevention is KING!

We’ll break down live threat tactics at our booth, showcase how we neutralize them in real time, and share how leading MSPs are building bulletproof, scalable security services without the complexity. It’s time to take ransomware off the table—for good.
