Now at #InnovationDublin24 is the “Where to Find Late Stage and Growth Capital and how the Game is Played” panel session moderated by David Cassak of MedTech Strategist:   ●     Susana Amorim Lopes, Investment Manager, Gilde Healthcare ●     Olivier Litzka, Partner, Andera Partners ●     Ruben Osnabrugge, Partner, 415 Capital ●     Alexander Schmitz, Partner, Endeavour Vision Q: How does today’s dearth of early-stage capital shape later stage investing?   A. I haven’t lost confidence in the medtech space. 90% of M&A still happens in the commercial stage, so there is a need for late stage capital. "It was easy to raise money during COVID, but now the tourists have left. So now it comes back to fundamentals." "In terms of exits, medtech is much less predictable than biotech, with fewer buyers here, which also have veiled agendas."

Banco Montepio Did It Again! 💪👏👏👏 Moody's has upgraded Banco Montepio's ratings, elevating the senior unsecured debt rating to Ba1 and the long-term deposits rating to Baa2. This marks the third upgrade in the past eighteen months, totaling four levels gained during this period. Moody's cited ongoing enhancements in Banco Montepio's credit profile, driven by a robust derisking strategy, a gradual strengthening of capital levels, and solid liquidity supported by a resilient deposit base. This positive trajectory reflects Banco Montepio's commitment to fostering financial stability and excellence. The institution's foundational values, rooted in mutualism since its establishment in 1844, continue to guide its mission to support the community and contribute to the well-being of its stakeholders. Under the leadership of Pedro Leitao since 2020, Banco Montepio remains dedicated to pursuing sustainable practices and driving positive change within the financial sector. #BancoMontepio #Moody's #FinancialStability #SustainableBanking #Portugal #BankingSector

Os rácios Common Equity Tier 1 e de Capital Total (fully implemented) ascenderam a 16,1% e 19,4%, respetivamente, valores nunca antes registados.

A must-read: The Future of European Competitiveness report by Mario Draghi to contribute to the European Commission’s work on a new plan for Europe’s sustainable prosperity and competitiveness, supporting a previous call from GSMA for the future of #telecoms. 🇪🇺 👉 Facilitating consolidation in the telecoms sector is needed to deliver higher rates of investment in connectivity. The cornerstone initiative is modifying the EU’s stance towards scale and consolidation of telecom operators to deliver a true Single Market without sacrificing consumer welfare and quality of service. To encourage consolidation, the report recommends defining telecoms markets at the EU level – as opposed to the Member State level – and increasing the weight of innovation and investment commitments in the EU’s rules for clearing mergers. 👉 Country-level ex-ante regulation should be reduced in favor of ex-post competition enforcement in cases of abuse of dominant position. It is also proposed to harmonize EU-wide spectrum licensing rules and processes and to orchestrate EU-wide auction design features to help create scale. To ensure that EU players remain at the forefront of new technological developments, it is recommended to establish an EU-level body with public-private participation to develop homogenous technical standards for the deployment of network APIs and edge computing, as was the case for roaming in the 1990s. 👉 To increase the capacity of EU operators to invest in these technologies, it is recommended to support commercial investment sharing between network owners and Very Large Online Platforms that use EU data networks to a massive extent but do not contribute to financing them.

#5G is a disruptive driver that will be at the center of innovation and economic and social development of countries over the next decade. Last week, head of Ericsson Portugal, Juan Olivera Urquijo, attended the 33rd national APDC Congress in Portugal. In his keynote, he called on national and European political and business decision-makers to: 💡 Address the delay in the rollout of 5G in Portugal and Europe compared to other regions; 💡 Industrialize through a strong commitment to technology and innovation; 💡 Increase technology penetration in the 27 EU states; 💡 Change existing regulatory positions in light of a too fragmented market. Also, in an article published in Jornal de Negócios (content in Portuguese), Juan Olivera reinforces Ericsson's position on these issues and calls on Europe to take measures to avoid becoming irrelevant in the current context. https://lnkd.in/eYMDhHWT

I'm thrilled to share an insightful article published in O Jornal Económico earlier this month, shedding light on the groundbreaking work happening at Sky Portugal. 🚀 During the interview that led to this publication, I had the opportunity to discuss the innovative strides our teams are making in revolutionizing the streaming landscape. This conversation highlights how our engineers are at the forefront of technological advancements, shaping the future of television from our offices in Lisbon, Aveiro, and Funchal. From pioneering immersive experiences with Apple's Vision Pro 🥽 to launching streaming platforms like Peacock, Skyshowtime, and Showmax across the globe, our commitment to innovation knows no bounds. 🌎 One key aspect that I'm particularly proud of is our relentless pursuit of excellence in predicting viewer preferences, a testament to the caliber of talent and expertise housed within our 🇵🇹 Portuguese offices. With a sharp focus on user experience, we're setting new standards in the industry. It's clear that the future of streaming holds immense potential, and I'm incredibly optimistic about the role Sky Portugal will play in shaping it. 💪 If you're passionate about pushing boundaries and making a real impact in the digital entertainment space, let's connect and explore how we can collaborate to drive meaningful change.
