New tech + national regulations to drive activity: <\/strong>M&A activity is going to pick up because of tech disruption and changes in global economics, the report notes, adding that companies will be looking toward consolidation in order to keep up with new technologies like AI, automation, and renewable energy, with both tech and non-tech companies looking to stay ahead. Businesses are also using M&A to adjust to new national policies and trade dynamics.<\/p>\n
