IMAP Strengthens Mid-Market M&A Presence in Greece and Cyprus with Alma Advisors

Alma Advisors Expands IMAP’s Mid-Market M&A Expertise in Greece

Alma Advisors is recognized as one of the most active M&A firms in Greece and a leading adviser in the mid-market segment, with deep relationships across the Greek entrepreneurial ecosystem and a strong track record advising founder-led businesses, corporates, and investors across a broad range of sectors and transaction situations.

Greek M&A Market Momentum Creates New Mid-Market Opportunities

The partnership comes at a time of accelerating momentum in the Greek M&A market, driven by renewed investor confidence, increasing foreign investment, and growing activity across resilient, export-oriented SMEs and founder-led businesses. Greece’s return to investment-grade status, strong inflows of EU funding, and increasing international interest in sectors including Technology, Industrials, Food, and Innovation continue to support rising mid-market M&A activity.

Despite this momentum, much of the Greek mid-market remains fragmented and under-advised, creating significant opportunity for experienced local advisers with strong market access, trusted relationships, and cross-border capabilities.

Similarly, Cyprus is also becoming an increasingly important regional hub for international investment and cross-border transactions, further reinforcing the strategic importance of experienced advisory support across Southern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean.

“We are delighted to welcome Alma Advisors to the IMAP partnership. At IMAP, we look for partners who combine local market access with an international mindset and a long-term commitment to client relationships. Alma Advisors has established a strong reputation in the regional mid-market through its relationships across the entrepreneurial and business community, transaction experience, and deep understanding of the local business landscape.

 

We look forward to working closely with the Alma Advisors team and to introducing their expertise, relationships, and perspective to colleagues and clients across the IMAP partnership."

Panagiotis Georgiou, Co-founder & Partner at Alma Advisors, added:

“We are proud to join IMAP and become part of one of the world’s leading mid-market M&A advisory partnerships. The combination of IMAP’s international reach and Alma Advisors' local market presence creates a strong platform to support entrepreneurs, corporates, and investors pursuing increasingly cross-border strategic opportunities.

 

Greece and Cyprus continue to attract growing international investor interest, while local businesses are becoming more outward-looking and strategically active. We believe this partnership significantly enhances our ability to deliver value to clients through deeper international connectivity, sector expertise, and access to strategic and financial counterparties worldwide.”

With Alma Advisors joining the IMAP partnership, IMAP is well positioned to support business owners, corporates, and investors navigating increasingly international mid-market M&A opportunities across the region.
