Cisco and Twitter say they will aggressively pursue acquisitions this year

Silver, Cisco, Twitter and private-equity firm Silver Lake, predicted a big increase in technology investment in 2010, thanks to increased innovation and lower borrowing costs, the midday news of January 19. "There are many companies that have been created last year and this year that are expected to launch new technologies that will be funded," said Dick Costolo, a Twitter coo Dick Costro at a seminar in Tuesday. Charles Camer, the vice president of Cisco, said at the symposium that Cisco will continue to aggressively seek acquisitions in 2010 and develop technology on its own. He believes that video communications will be a big source of growth, both in business and in the home sector, and that technology will grow rapidly.　　Not all of the best ideas in the field originate from Cisco, he says, and Cisco doesn't want to miss it when other companies come up with good ideas. The volatility of the business environment has been reduced and is therefore conducive to a deal, says Carmel. "That's why Cisco grew in the second half of 2009," he said. I think there will be more buyers who feel the signs. "Jim Davidson, co-founder of Silver Lake, Jim Davidson that lower interest rates are likely to increase the number of transactions between businesses." He says the US federal benchmark interest rate is equal to 0 and will therefore spur more investment. Davidson also expects the US IPO market to recover. "This year's IPO market will be much more active than the year before," he said. Costello said Twitter did not prepare for an IPO this year, but the company is expected to pursue acquisitions. "We will continue to look for the target market," he said. If there is a need for active mergers and acquisitions, and in line with our wishes, we will carry out mergers and acquisitions. We are not prepared to slow down the pace of development in 2010. "(Ding Macro)
