Google has been granted EU regulatory clearance to acquire Israeli-founded cybersecurity unicorn Wiz for a staggering $32 billion.
The European Commission says it concluded that the transaction would raise no competition concerns in the European Economic Area (‘EEA’).
The deal, announced in March last year, is the largest-ever purchase of an Israeli tech company. For Google, it is the largest acquisition the search giant has ever made, more than double its record purchase of Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion in 2012.
