Permira agreed to sell its A$3.4 billion stake in I‑MED Radiology Network, a leading Australian diagnostic imaging firm, as part of a broader wave of AI‑driven exits this week. The transaction values I‑MED at A$3.4 billion and signals growing investor confidence in the country’s med‑tech sector.

Meanwhile, ECI captured Helio Intelligence, a European political‑intelligence powerhouse, after Bowmark and Bridgepoint divested. Helio’s reputation as the continent’s go‑to monitoring service makes the deal a notable boost for ECI’s analytics portfolio.

Oakley’s purchase of XTEL’s stake from Bain and SilverTree adds a strategic asset in cloud‑based data solutions, positioning Oakley to deepen its presence in the AI‑enabled analytics market. These moves underscore a sharp focus on data‑centric capabilities among private‑equity investors.
