The Nordic M&A market entered 2026 with strong momentum despite an unusually uncertain geopolitical backdrop.

Mental health accounts for more than 20% of the UK’s public health needs but receives less than 9% of NHS funding. That gap is now prompting changes in policy that will affect how mental health services are delivered.

European virtual care is moving past standalone video consultations and into core healthcare infrastructure. Leading platforms now organise triage, routing, scheduling and clinical capacity across payers, employers and provider networks.
Public software has had a poor twelve months. The S&P Software and Services Select Industry Index is down by roughly 21.6% over the period, while the S&P 500 is up by around 14.3%. That gap is now becoming evident in private market pricing.
