WKEY), a global leader in cybersecurity, digital identity, and
Internet of Things (IoT) solutions operating as a holding company,
today announced that in a groundbreaking initiative (initially
revealed in Davos, Switzerland on January 18, 2024), has joined as
a founder member of the newly launched Global Mergers, Acquisitions
& Investment Council (GMAIC), which marks a significant
expansion of the Asia Pacific M&A Association (APMAA).
Founded in 2017, by Dr. Wang Wei, founder of the China M&A
Association and David Fergusson, Executive Managing Director –
M&A of Generational Equity, the APMAA was established to
enhance cross-border M&A transactions and industry advancement
within Asia Pacific region. In 2018, plans to form GMAIC were
unveiled, aimed at broadening the APMAA's mandate to include member
countries from around the world. However, progress was impeded by
the COVID-19 pandemic and growing geopolitical tensions.
2024 marks a renewed commitment to global economic growth, with
a focus on the pivotal role of mergers, acquisitions, and
investments. Under this vision, the APMAA and GMAIC founders have
agreed to formally establish GMAIC as an association in Geneva,
Switzerland, laying out clear objectives and strategies.
GMAIC aims to:
- Create a global ambassador platform for enhancing cross-border
M&A and foreign direct investment (FDI).
- Lay the groundwork for cross-border M&A and FDI education
and best industry practices.
The association's strategy includes:
- Establishing country chapters with leadership committees for
national and cross-border activities.
- Developing a global membership database for networking and
opportunity referrals.
- Creating an international deal portal for cross-border M&A
and FDI.
- Promoting local M&A events for global relationship building
and deal sourcing.
GMAIC emerges as a leader in socially responsible and
environmentally sustainable M&A practices, and it is committed
to integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) for sustainable
development in M&A and prioritizing low-carbon strategies,
recognizing their importance in global business and environmental
health. GMAIC underscores the role of digital assets in M&A,
advocating for their efficiency, transparency, and security
benefits.
Central to GMAIC’s philosophy is inclusive finance, ensuring
that M&A activities contribute to the economic empowerment of
diverse communities, fostering equitable global economic growth.
GMAIC champions M&A strategies aligned with the sharing economy
model, promoting collaborative consumption and broad stakeholder
participation.
A Call to Global ActionLed by GMAIC Chairman,
David Fergusson, co-founder, Dr Wang Wei and Secretary Treasurer,
Carlos Moreira (Founder and CEO of WISeKey), GMAIC invites
businesses, investors, and policymakers to join this transformative
journey, reshaping the M&A landscape for a sustainable,
inclusive, and prosperous global future. Membership information
will shortly be forthcoming.
