  We were delighted to see David Nicault, Partner & Sector Head Technology at Bridgepoint, and Dominic Gallello, Managing Director Digital, sharing insights on tech-driven value creation at SuperReturn in Berlin last week.David illuminated the impact potential of technology on valuecreation and the investment landscape, highlighting that: 🤝 Many Bridgepoint portfolio companies remain focused on implementing the latest advances in generative AI and cybersecurity, as well as finalising their transition to cloud-based service models. With the support of Bridgepoint’s growth-oriented platform and highly specialised team, David explained, such companies have a golden opportunity to move beyond Europe and become global leaders.👩💻 From an investment perspective, particularly exciting opportunities exist in RegTech and Employee Experience market segments. Take Bridgepoint's recent acquisition of LumApps for example – a company at the forefront of innovation, as employees increasingly demand the same flawless digital experience as consumers. Meanwhile, Dominic spoke to the role of digital transformation inPE, discussing strategies for how to leverage digital, data and AI to createvalue in portfolio companies. This included a deep dive on the digitisation ofBridgepoint Europe portfolio company Infinigate Group, as it continues toevolve into a digitally enabled cyber and cloud champion🛜Congrats to David and Dominic for representing Bridgepoint on sucha prestigious stage! 👏#Bridgepoint #SuperReturn #Leadership #Innovation #Technology #PrivateEquity

  Andrew Cleland-Bogle, Partner and Head of Direct Lending at Bridgepoint, participated in a panel at Debtwire’s Private Credit Forum Europe event this week. During this session on the current state of play in middle market direct lending, Andrew gave his view on some of the key trends to expect in the private credit space over the next 12 months. 🔮 🎤 Andrew noted that new deal volumes began to unlock over the course of Q1 2024, with a significant pickup in activity so far in Q2. With valuations paid returning closer to historical levels, sponsors have the confidence to sell again after a quiet 2023. 📈💡According to Andrew, the message from the market is clear: “Let’s get back to business.” Many thanks to the entire panel for their contributions to this exciting discussion.
