𝐋𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐌&𝐀 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐧 In just the first days of Q2, Mehiläinen announced acquisitions in Romania and Serbia, while major processes are underway for Luz Saude in Portugal and mydentist (UK) in the UK. What’s driving the shift? Improving macro conditions, resilient operator performance, and a growing push from PE and long-term capital to deploy funds. Strategics are leading the way, but IPOs and direct investments are opening new exit routes—and the pressure to transact is rising.

Despite a broader M&A slowdown in Portugal in 2024, industry experts tell HBI that healthcare, especially elderly care, diagnostics, and outpatient services, remains resilient and attractive to investors.

Last week at #HBI2025, Ángel Manotas, Managing Director at Alantra Private Equity, joined a panel discussion moderated by Rakshitha Narasimhan (Healthcare Business International) alongside Dr. Marco MAZEVET (Candesic), Sara Dalmasso (Straumann Group), Neil Carmichael (The Association of Dental Groups), and Anni Seaborne (Bupa Dental Care UK) to explore how investment in oral healthcare can drive better health outcomes and reduce costs.   Alantra Private Equity has been actively investing in the sector, acquiring multiple dental laboratories to build Digitaldent, the second-largest dental laboratory group in Spain. The dental market remains highly fragmented, presenting significant opportunities for consolidation, efficiency gains, and technological advancements.   AI and digitalization are transforming the industry, enhancing diagnostics, streamlining workflows, and improving patient care. With strong sector tailwinds and increasing demand, oral healthcare presents a compelling investment opportunity.   Many thanks for having us, #HBI2025!
