Possibility to increase retail investors participation to IPOs
Amsterdam, Athens, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, Milan, Oslo and Paris – 18 June 2026 – Euronext today announced the launch of IPOgo, a new solution to give SMEs a simpler, faster and more cost-effective IPO experience on Euronext Growth. Removing barriers for SMEs to access European capital markets and mobilise European savings towards the real economy, the IPOgo initiative is in line with the objectives of the Savings and Investments Union.
Made possible by the adoption of the EU Listing Act, IPOgo offers a simplified approach to admission documentation inspired by the EU Growth Prospectus. Combined with a streamlined admission process and end-to-end digital execution enabled by Euronext's proprietary digital distribution1 infrastructure, the solution delivers a shorter listing timeline for SMEs.
Euronext Growth hosts over 550 listed companies across Europe, representing around €40 billion in market capitalisation and spanning a broad range of sectors and geographies across Europe. Euronext Growth is supported by a deep liquidity pool and an institutional investor base of more than 600 institutional investors across 29 countries, combining local, pan-European and international investors. The diversity of this base provides issuers with broad and sustained access to capital.
In 2025, trading volumes on Euronext Growth reached their highest level since 2021, with close to a third of traded volume coming from retail investors. This illustrates the shift in investor behaviour across Europe, with individual investors increasingly seeking direct exposure to productive assets.
Leveraging this shift in investor behaviour, IPOgo is also designed to significantly broaden retail investors participation in IPOs across Europe for companies seeking to raise up to €12 million. In France, where Euronext Growth counts around 250 companies, companies using the IPOgo solution will be able to open up to 100% of their initial public offering to retail investors.
Euronext Growth supports companies throughout their growth journey and provides a stepping stone to Euronext regulated markets. Since 2018, around 70 companies transferred from Euronext Growth to Euronext regulated markets. Following the introduction of the Listing Act, companies listed on Euronext Growth can, after 18 months, seek admission to Euronext regulated markets using a simplified prospectus.
Mathieu Caron, Head of Primary Markets at Euronext, said: “Despite the depth of European capital markets, too many successful and growing SMEs have yet to access public markets financing. These companies are the backbone of the European economy, creating employment, driving innovation and anchoring economic activity in local communities. With IPOgo, Euronext is taking another step to reconnect European savings with the financing needs of SMEs. Supported by ongoing technological upgrades, regulatory improvements and a growing focus from investors on companies that strengthen Europe’s strategic autonomy, we are making IPOs twice as fast, simpler, and more cost-effective.”
