Celebrating excellence in the Portuguese capital markets
On 20 February, Euronext proudly announced the winners of the 14th edition of the Euronext Lisbon Awards, an annual celebration recognising those who have made significant contributions to the growth and development of the Portuguese capital markets. The awards highlight the exceptional work of issuers, financial intermediaries, institutions, and individuals who have shaped and enhanced the financial landscape in Portugal over the past year.
The awards ceremony took place during Euronext's flagship event in Portugal, bringing together key players from the financial markets and industry leaders. The evening commenced with opening remarks from Joaquim Miranda Sarmento, Minister of State and Finance, who set the tone for the event, underscoring the importance of the awards in recognising excellence and innovation within the Portuguese economy. This was followed by a thought-provoking keynote address by Professor João César das Neves, who delivered a speech on the theme, “The world went to elections in 2024: what economy can we expect in 2025?”
The 2024 edition of the awards is particularly significant as it coincides with Euronext's 25th anniversary. Over the past quarter-century, Euronext has been at the forefront of connecting economies and fostering the growth of capital markets across Europe. The 2024 awards reaffirm the dynamism and resilience of the Portuguese capital market and underscore the country’s continued role in driving economic progress on the European stage.
The Euronext Lisbon Awards not only celebrate individual and organisational achievements but also serve as a reflection of the continuous innovation and transformation within the market. This year’s winners represent the diverse sectors that contribute to the vibrancy of Portugal’s financial ecosystem, from corporate governance to sustainable finance and technological advancements.
Looking ahead, Euronext remains committed to advancing its European vision, with a strong focus on driving growth, innovation, and sustainability within the Portuguese market and beyond. Through the Lisbon Awards, we continue to celebrate the achievements of those who are shaping the future of finance and capital markets.
