Sign InIn a move reflecting the vitality of the European software sector, the private equity owners of Italy's TeamSystem are exploring a stake sale in the company. According to reports, the sale targets a valuation of up to €8bn for the business software group. This exploration by owners, including Hellman & Friedman and Blackstone, aims to test market sentiment toward software firms amid rapid advancements in artificial intelligence.
