On 17 June NYSE Euronext organized the first Private to Public Forum in Paris at the Palais Brongniart, gathering 90 financial analysts and investors around a selection of private equity backed-up companies targeting an IPO within 6 to 18 months time.

2008 Private to Public Forum has been the first forum gathering public investors and private companies through one-to-one and one-to many meetings.

NYSE Euronext, the French Association of Investment Capital (AFIC), Ernst & Young and the Société Française des Analystes Financiers (SFAF) have joined forces to make this first edition a real success. And so has it been.

The following IPO candidates were present:
