What is Cavell Invest?
Cavell Invest brings the investment and cloud technology communities together for an afternoon of keynotes, panels, insights and networking opportunities.
This event provides an abundance of opportunities to obtain, drive, and develop businesses with innovative technology platforms. With up-to-date information and analysis, you can make informed decisions and optimise your investment strategy.
Cavell Invest is for telcos, investors and investment advisors in the cloud communications markets who want to prepare for and identify potential deals in this market. This year the event is hosted in partnership with Osborne Clark, adding a further layer of expertise and value to the conversations and opportunities throughout the day.
Agenda
The Intelligent Workplace Investment Opportunity
- 14:00 - 14:20
Speaker: Matt Townend - Managing Director, Cavell
Cavell will share their view of the Market and their thoughts on the Intelligent Workplace and how that is driving opportunities and successful business strategies
Verticalisation - The Key to Market Success?
- 14:20 - 15:00
This dynamic panel will dive into the growing importance of verticalisation in technology strategies and its increasing impact on investor decision-making. Industry leaders and top investors will share insights on how specialising in niche markets drives innovation, creates competitive advantages, and enhances business valuations.
Debate: "M&A is going to grow this year despite global uncertainties"
- 15:30 - 16:10
Get ready for a thought-provoking debate! This session will feature a passionate advocate making the case for increased M&A activity, while a challenger presents the counterargument. After hearing both perspectives, we’ll open the floor to all attendees for an interactive discussion.
Specialisation or a Broad Product Portfolio - Which Will Drive Value?
- 16:10 - 16:40
At Cavell, we’re often asked how much a company should specialise in a specific technology versus offering a broad portfolio. If a company does take the broader approach, what are the essential products and skills needed to succeed? With growing pressure to expand into areas like security, AI, and CX, the big question is: does it make strategic sense to add these to your portfolio? And if so, how do you effectively acquire the necessary expertise?
What is Seen as the Key DNA for Success?
- 16:40 - 17:00
Having worked with 100+ technology businesses across consulting, M&A advisory, and industry analysis, Cavell has a deep understanding of what drives success. In this keynote, we’ll share key insights into the essential traits and strategies that define high-performing tech companies—both today and in the future.
