The share of North American corporations in the acquisitions of German startups from abroad thus fell by 15 percentage points compared to the previous year, from 53 to 38 percent. At the same time, the share of acquisitions by European companies rose from 44 to 57 percent \u2013 an increase of 13 percentage points. The remaining seven international foreign acquisitions in 2022 were by companies from Asia, with the share increasing from three to five percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sales abroad: \u201cA sign of how competitive local startups are\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thomas Pr\u00fcver<\/strong>, Partner at EY, says: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&quot;2022 was a challenging year, not only for startups, but also for the economy as a whole. Interest rate reversals, the economic slowdown, and the waning effects of the pandemic \u2013 all of this led to downward valuation adjustments and a greater focus on profitability.&quot; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Pr\u00fcver, there was not a single IPO of a German startup in 2022. In 2021, there were four <a href=\"\/en\/day\/ipo\/\">IPOs<\/a> and five <a href=\"\/en\/day\/spac\/\">SPACs<\/a> been. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&quot;As IPOs became unavailable as an exit option for investors, M&amp;A transactions became more of a focus. In addition, some young companies that had trouble raising fresh capital became takeover candidates.&quot; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of takeovers therefore increased significantly again compared to the record year of 2021. Interest from foreign investors was particularly strong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&quot;A clear sign of how competitive local startups and their ideas and business models are in international comparison. At the same time, however, it&#039;s also a warning signal to politicians, as this is draining a lot of innovation potential from Germany,&quot; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>says Pr\u00fcver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A particularly high number of acquired startups operate in the software and analytics sector, with 66 transactions completed. E-commerce follows in second place with 30 acquisitions. <\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The number of German tech startups being acquired is reaching a record high.
