M&A Deals Strong: Global M&A activity reaches a five-year high in 2026, capital investment becomes the main driving force

This report, based on LSEG data, indicates that global M&A transaction volume reached a five-year high in the first quarter of 2026, a year-on-year increase of 27%. Although US deals remain the main driver, European deals have rebounded strongly, while the Asia-Pacific region has seen a decline. Market trends show that capital investment (such as private equity and venture capital) is driving transactions, rather than traditional strategic M&A.

Deep Science Entrepreneurship: Challenges and Paths from Laboratory Breakthroughs to Large-Scale Industry

This article analyzes the essence of deep scientific entrepreneurship based on the special report of WIPO's "Global Innovation Index 2026," highlighting its characteristics that distinguish it from traditional deep technology (such as capital intensity, long validation cycles, and multidisciplinary teams), and pointing out the challenges it faces in scaling up. The article emphasizes that realizing the translation of scientific discoveries into industry requires overcoming the gap from discovery to commercialization, which depends not only on scientific breakthroughs but also on a systematic translation process, clear intellectual property strategy, and financing models that match the risks of deep science.

Editorial principles

01

We publish fewer stories, with more context and clearer sourcing.

02

Every section follows a distinct analytical lens rather than a generic topic taxonomy.

03

Technology, industry, and capital are presented as linked systems, not separate beats.
