The solution

In its Digital Base Camps, Linde has already developed a number of data-supported business ideas for increasing efficiency and turnover. Employees in production and sales have the core task of making these new solutions available to the entire company. In order to gain the level of digital maturity required for this task, Linde turned to us.


The aim was to make Linde’s digital transformation scalable. The approach taken by us enables employees to proactively develop digital solutions, for Linde and for customers. The multi-level program includes elements such as boot camps, standardized collaboration, and more than 15 workshops where participants not only learn from successful solutions developed by others but also test their own solutions.

From the workshop through to the development and presentation of a prototype on Demo Day, we supported Linde employees with their comprehensive expertise in the field of programmatic digital transformation. Some of the solutions developed by the employees have already been implemented.

 

We structured the learning journey in a modular manner so that each level can be recalled on demand.

Working together with their team, employees from operative business areas were not only introduced to innovative methods and tools that helped them to master the relevant challenges. They and their external coaching partners also challenged and supported us on a personal level, enabling us to put the theory into practice immediately in the respective teams. Building on this foundation, we shall continue to develop our teams, solutions and use cases.

The strategic thesis was right. The P&L disagrees. Where to look
In private equity, value erosion rarely comes from a fundamentally flawed thesis. More often, the thesis, the priorities, and the operating model simply fail to align — quickly enough, or tightly enough — during the hold period. In tech-enabled industrials, that gap tends to be wider, more persistent, and more expensive to recover from

M&A Industry Snapshot: The European PropTech and ConTech M&A market
The European PropTech and ConTech M&A market is regaining momentum, but under fundamentally changed dynamics. Capital has become more selective, strategic buyers are increasingly dominating transaction processes, and single-point solutions are losing relevance despite strong growth.This snapshot highlights a clear shift toward scalable SaaS platforms with recurring revenues, deep workflow integration, and strong data foundations. Buy-and-build strategies remain the primary growth lever for investors, while AI-enabled platforms combining operational data and automation capabilities are commanding increasing strategic premiums.As recent transactions such as the Consigli deal demonstrate, valuation is no longer driven by revenue alone, but by a company’s role within future platform ecosystems. As a result, well-positioned platforms benefit from an attractive exit environment, while demand for mid-market add-on acquisitions remains strong.
