Expert speakers joined our first Private Markets+ live event last week to discuss the short-term impacts of Covid-19, as well as the longer-term effect on traditional healthcare infrastructure.

In this live virtual event held on 4 February 2021, our expert speakers discussed the short-term impacts of Covid-19 on different healthcare sub-sectors, as well as the longer-term effect on traditional healthcare infrastructure and the maturation of the digital health and healthtech sectors.

Participants included:

- Liz Jones, partner at Livingbridge
- Raj Shah, partner and head of healthcare at Nordic Capital
- Alexander Friedrich, managing director at Ardian
- Jan Pomoell, investment professional and co-head of the health team at Triton Partners
- Denise Ko Genovese, associate editor at Unquote (moderator)

No sector is closer to the frontline of the Covid-19 pandemic than healthcare. The ongoing crisis has led to market uncertainty across Europe, with all sectors feeling the impact. As resources are focused primarily on combatting Covid-19, many providers for ancillary services for non-Covid-related issues are feeling the effect as routine operations and services are being postponed.

However, healthcare is seen by many as a sector that is likely to show resilience given its non-cyclical nature, even in sub-sectors that are currently suffering, as demand for these services is likely to rebound in the future.

As many European countries contend with the second wave of the pandemic, the accelerating demand for digital healthcare and telemedicine looks set to continue, and with it the promising returns for investors.

About Private Markets+

The upcoming Private Markets+ site will be a personalised members portal for our network of LPs and GPs within the private debt, infrastructure and private equity asset classes, supported by our AVCJ, Debtwire, Creditflux, Unquote and Inframation brands.

The site will give our members access to industry-focused reports, data, and surveys produced by us and our partners, which will help inform investment strategy for investors and funds, and raise brand awareness for our clients.

As part of the platform, members will be able to access our virtual events, with other LPs and GPs logging in to get proprietary insight and updates from our speakers.
