Dealmaking in the software and technology sector remained robust in July, reflecting continued investor focus on the critical building blocks of the AI economy. Activity centered on AI infrastructure, next-generation connectivity, and cybersecurity, with large-cap M&A and platform buyouts driving the majority of transaction value.
AI platforms continued to attract strategic investment, supported by substantial late-stage funding for foundational model developers and acquisitions aimed at expanding full-stack capabilities. Connectivity and infrastructure deals reflected the race to strengthen the networks and edge computing systems needed to power AI workloads, while cybersecurity consolidation underscored the priority of identity-first protection in an evolving threat landscape.
