» The M&A, IPO, financing and overall public markets activity in 2H 2020 highlights the attractiveness of the software sector given its:
— Stickiness and ubiquity
— Recurring revenue
— Mission-critical use cases
» Some significant trends include:
— Deeper focus on security and automation
— Overall digital transformation of multiple industries and processes
— Shift towards machine learning, cloud, AI, augmented reality, digital payments and enhanced infrastructure
» Infrastructure software continues to be at the forefront, leading most of the development in the sector
