On 10 November 2026, we hosted a Wiidare breakfast event, bringing together professionals from diverse backgrounds to discuss mergers and acquisitions.
The keynote address was delivered by Janika Vilkman, Director of M&A, Legal and Sustainability at the Lohkare Infra Group. Janika shared insights into Lohkare’s growth strategy and how the company has rapidly risen to become one of the leading players in the infrastructure sector through a series of acquisitions.
The panel discussion that followed was lively and engaging. In addition to Janika, the panel featured Teemu Alahuhta (DevCo Partners), Joachim Lindholm (re:mount Group), and Mika Seppänen (Insplan). The discussion explored M&A transactions from multiple perspectives, including those of the buyer, seller, and investor. The audience heard valuable insights into the key factors behind successful acquisitions. Alongside strategic considerations, financial information, and due diligence processes, the discussion also highlighted the importance of communication skills, leadership, and cultural compatibility between the parties.
The event was moderated by Wiidare’s Legal Business Partners Jonathan Andersson and Benjamin af Hällström.
A warm thank you to all our speakers and to the engaged audience for contributing to such an insightful and inspiring discussion.
