The PE conference pemacom starts on Sept. 23 in Munich!

Munich — Global law firm Reed Smith is one of the main spon­sors of the inter­na­tio­nal confe­rence pema­com for private equity and M&A profes­sio­nals on Septem­ber 23, 2025 in Munich, one of the leading confe­ren­ces for cross-border mergers and acqui­si­ti­ons and private equity investments.

Since 2010, pema­com has been taking place annu­ally in paral­lel to the Okto­ber­fest in Munich with a growing number of visi­tors. What once began as a networ­king event in a small circle has deve­lo­ped over the years into a plat­form for inter­di­sci­pli­nary exch­ange on current deve­lo­p­ments in the markets, the economy and stra­te­gies for deal­ing with them. 

As this year’s keynote spea­ker, Prof. Dr. Herfried Münk­ler, one of Germany’s most influ­en­tial poli­ti­cal scien­tists, will give a lecture on the ques­tion “Make it great again — but how?” — how Europe can assert itself in the new geostra­te­gic world order.

“pema­com connects experts and direct market parti­ci­pants from leading German compa­nies, private equity funds, insti­tu­tio­nal inves­tors and consul­ting firms and offers a top-class plat­form for exch­ange and networ­king against the back­drop of the current chal­lenges for PE and M&A,” says Dr. Niko­laus von Jacobs, Part­ner at Reed Smith in Munich and Co-Chair of pema­com (Photo© Reed Smith).

The focus of this year’s pema­com is on the econo­mic policy chal­lenges faced by inter­na­tio­nally opera­ting compa­nies in connec­tion with customs duties, import rest­ric­tions and invest­ment controls. This is accom­pa­nied by key issues rela­ting to digi­tal busi­ness models, future pros­pects for the health­care, biotech­no­logy and life scien­ces sectors as well as the ongo­ing deve­lo­p­ment of arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence and the resul­ting conse­quen­ces for the inter­na­tio­nal tran­sac­tion market. 

Niko­laus von Jacobs adds: “It will be exci­ting to see how trans­at­lan­tic trade rela­ti­ons deve­lop in the coming months and years. For many compa­nies, ente­ring into stra­te­gic part­ner­ships across conti­nents could be a solu­tion to gain access to inter­na­tio­nal markets.”
