Meanwhile, we also take a look at the US move to impose secondary Iran sanctions \u2014 and how it may impact Iran\u2019s trading partners in the region. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">The big logistics story abroad<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>InPost sold \u2014 FedEx and <\/strong><strong>Advent<\/strong><strong> head EUR 7.8 bn takeover: <\/strong>A consortium led by logistics giant FedEx and private equity firm Advent International has <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/4bbe120a-c3f8-4a51-8031-5973200ea4e0\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">acquired<\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/4bbe120a-c3f8-4a51-8031-5973200ea4e0\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a> Polish parcel-locker and last-mile courier <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/inpost.co.uk\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">InPost<\/a> in a EUR 7.8 bn transaction. The agreement is slated to close in 2H 2026 and will leave InPost as an independent player. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The details: <\/strong>The consortium is offering EUR 15.60 per share \u2014 a 50% premium over the early January price. Under the new structure, Fedex and Advent will each hold a 37% share, while founder Rafal Brzoska will retain a 16% stake and Czech investment firm PPF will hold the remaining 10%. The move comes three years after InPost\u2019s EUR 8 bn IPO. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Why does this acquisition matter? <\/strong>For the broader logistics sector, the agreement signals that high-growth tech-logistics firms are finding more value in private markets where they can scale infrastructure. It can also be seen as a testament to the growth of the locker-based model for the last-mile sector in Europe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>***<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We\u2019re hiring a technology reporter:<\/strong> EnterpriseAM is looking for a tech reporter to own the beat across Egypt, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and beyond.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>This is a reporting job \u2014 not a desk job.<\/strong> You\u2019ll be working sources, breaking stories, and writing about trendlines (not just headlines) in our voice and with the authority our readers expect.
