Fasken’s Co-Managing Partner for Ottawa, Virginia Schweitzer, provides an analysis of the key M&A trends in the National Capital Region, in an article published in the Ottawa Business Journal.
She highlights the increasing attractiveness of the region’s defence and dual‑use technology companies to potential acquirers, as well as the opportunities emerging from major federal investments in defence and infrastructure.
“[We are currently seeing the most M&A activity] in the SME space, as it relates to Ottawa […] particularly in tech,ˮ said Virginia Schweitzer. “These are some of the niches we have in Ottawa: aerospace, cybersecurity, AI, cloud computing. Some of those companies are smaller, but that’s where we’re seeing growth and activity.ˮ
