Professional exchange across European markets

The summit combined technical presentations, academic perspectives, and discussion of current valuation practice. It gave participants an opportunity to compare approaches across jurisdictions and consider how professional standards, market evidence, and valuation methods are applied in different European markets.

Representatives of LVPA and NiRV also attended the summit. Their participation reflected the event's cross-border focus and the role of professional organisations in supporting technical exchange and consistent valuation practice.

Relevance for smartZebra

For smartZebra, the summit provided direct contact with professionals who prepare, review, and rely on business valuations. Discussions focused on the availability and documentation of market data, the selection of comparable companies, and the need to explain valuation parameters clearly to reviewers and decision-makers.

These discussions inform the continued development of smartZebra's valuation platform. The platform provides cost-of-capital parameters, beta factors, multiples, interest rates, and source information for a selected valuation date, with calculation paths and exports designed to support professional documentation.
