We are delighted to announce on Wednesday 4 May at 2.00pm Helen Steers, Partner and Manager of PIN, is joining Hardman & Co for an open forum discussion about the role of private equity, and PIN, in financing entrepreneurship, innovation and growth. Sign up now for your place.
We will be discussing why private equity increasingly has become the preferred financier for growth companies, which are choosing to stay private for longer or may never go public at all. PE-backed companies are investing in tech-enabled businesses and companies benefiting from digitalisation disruption across multiple sectors, with many niche sub-sectors underrepresented or zero-represented on public markets. We will consider how private equity works in practice, its impact on society and the investment opportunities these trends are creating.
Questions from the audience will be welcome throughout the discussion. You can send us your questions when you register or during the presentation.
