Financial markets are under pressure from a host of destabilising factors including rising interest rates, soaring energy prices and the threat of recession in major economies, all against a backdrop of intense geopolitical tensions. Global M&A deals and IPOs have fallen to their lowest level in years, and venture capital funding is also in decline. Meanwhile the private equity industry is under greater regulatory scrutiny. In this challenging environment, how will corporate leaders and investors navigate the path ahead? 

Due Diligence Live gathered the biggest names in finance and investment from around the world, as well as top CEOs, for agenda-setting discussions that explored in detail the dealmaking landscape and define the key steps to be taken to protect and build value.
