Spot the nuggets before they fly away

Trendeo: the essential ally for spotting nuggets before they're gone

‍

Buying a company is not always bad news. When well structured, it can provide the company concerned with valuable resources to accelerate its development.

But the question remains: could it have grown locally? Some takeovers lead to absorption, a shift in added value or a slowdown in innovation.

‍

🔎 At Trendeo, we identify these promising companies before they change hands.

‍

Here are three recent French nuggets from our database, now integrated into foreign groups:

💠 UnitySC, Grenoble-based quality control specialist in semiconductor manufacturing, acquired by Merck.

‍
🧬 Stilla Technologies, leading Parisian biotech, part of Bio-Rad Laboratories.

‍
🔒 Secure-IC, expert in embedded systems cybersecurity, acquired by Cadence.

‍

‍

📌 O ur Trendeo database lists many other dynamic companies.

These acquisitions are not always a loss for the French economy: they can bring in substantial financial resources 💰 , and French companies themselves are making international acquisitions.

‍

However, two issues deserve increased vigilance:

⚠️ The absence of national leaders in certain sectors accentuates the risk of takeovers by foreign groups, due to a lack of resources or strategic vision.
🤝 Encouraging regional investment strategies in innovative SMEs could offer local alternatives to international acquisitions.

‍

👉 This is where Trendeo comes in: by offering major groups, local authorities and investment funds valuable insight into high-potential companies before they become inaccessible.

Thanks to our enriched database, you can spot these nuggets early on, so they don't slip under the radar of national or local development strategies.

Trendeo, your strategic watch for French nuggets.
