Euronext strengthens its position as the leading stock exchange for European Tech companies

On the occasion of the third edition of the Euronext Tech Leaders Campus, Euronext published the Euronext Tech Pulse and announced the upcoming launch of the Euronext Europe Tech Index.                                          

Amsterdam, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, Milan, Oslo and Paris – 26 November 2024 – Euronext, the leading European capital market infrastructure, today held the third edition of the Euronext Tech Leaders Campus, bringing together 300 participants from the European Tech community. This flagship event aims to strengthen the European Tech sector and support European technology companies in their growth funding needs. On this occasion, Euronext released the Euronext Tech Pulse, a new report revealing the latest trends among Tech leaders across Europe, and announced the upcoming launch of the Euronext Europe Tech Index, designed to become the reference index for Europe’s leading listed Tech companies.

Stéphane Boujnah, CEO and Chairman of the Managing Board of Euronext, commented: “The expansion of the Tech sector represents a fundamental challenge for Europe in the coming years. For these companies, raising funding is an essential part of their growth strategy. Capital markets are vital for securing the necessary funds for long-term projects, where returns on investment can be dependent on time. Euronext is the benchmark market in Europe for the technology sector, with more than 700 listed companies, and €1.3 trillion aggregated market capitalisation. It is on this base that we launched Euronext Tech Leaders in 2022, an initiative dedicated to enhancing the visibility and attractiveness of fast-growing and leading technology companies for international investors, while offering these companies a range of services to support them throughout their listing process. Since the creation of Euronext Tech Leaders, 59 Tech companies have been listed on Euronext and 33 new companies have joined the Euronext Tech Leaders segment, demonstrating the attractiveness of this initiative for companies and investors alike.”

Throughout the day, 250 meetings were organised between institutional investors and Euronext Tech Leaders executives.
