Technology leaders and investors are meeting in London next week to discuss a new wave of transformational opportunities for telecom and tech companies as part of the TMT M&A Forum on March 14.The inaugural forum, which connects leadership from the telecom, tech and finance community, features six panel discussions on M&A and investment strategy including: Technology M&A - Investing in the Next Wave; and Digital Leadership - Who Will Control The Customer Interface in the Fifth Wave of Computing?

“The mobile internet is going to change more lives, create more wealth, destroy more businesses, and upend more political systems than any force in history,” saidRobert Marcus, Chairman and CEO of QuantumWave Capital who will lead the panel on the fifth wave of computing. “This session is designed to deliver practical guidance on navigating this time of great unpredictability and even greater opportunity.”
