Forge to Acquire Becker's Healthcare with JEGI LEONIS Advisory
Forge has announced its agreement to acquire Becker's Healthcare.
Forge, a B2B events and media company backed by Apollo, has reached a definitive agreement to acquire Becker's Healthcare, a media and events platform focused on the healthcare sector. This acquisition is expected to significantly enhance Forge's presence in the healthcare and life sciences markets.
Becker's Healthcare, which operates out of Chicago, serves a wide audience of hospital and health system executives through various digital products and live events. The platform engages over 1.5 million healthcare leaders and hosts more than 15,000 attendees at its events each year, making it a key player in the healthcare media landscape.
The move will unite Becker's with Forge's existing healthcare assets, including Fierce Healthcare and Life Sciences. Together, this merger will create a thorough omnichannel platform that connects decision-makers throughout the healthcare value chain, from biotech and pharmaceuticals to hospitals and payers.
With the integration of Becker's and Fierce, Forge aims to use over 35 live events and a range of digital offerings, such as newsletters, podcasts, and executive communities, to provide valuable insights and connections to industry leaders.
This acquisition aligns with Forge's strategic goal of building scale in sectors experiencing growth. The healthcare industry is undergoing significant transformation, and the demand for trusted information and networking opportunities is increasing.
