1. Euronext Tech Leaders initiatives deployed across Europe since the segment’s launch

Euronext is the number one equity listing venue for Tech in Europe, with  700+ listed Tech companies, representing an aggregated market capitalisation of €1.2 trillion as of 31 May 2023.

Euronext offers access to a rich ecosystem dedicated to the Tech sector, and in particular, a large and international investor base financing Tech companies of all growth profiles. Euronext has also developed a set of pan-European pre-IPO programmes that help innovative businesses familiarise themselves with sector-specific capital markets knowledge to provide them with all the information they need to reach the next stage of their growth. Since the launch in 2015, over 920 companies have participated to Euronext’s pre-IPO programmes, all selected for their capacity for innovation and their impressive performance. The Euronext Tech Leaders initiative that was launched in June 2022 complements Euronext's existing Tech offer with the ambition to strengthen the European Tech sector and be a catalyst for the next generation of Tech Leaders.

Despite the current macroeconomic context, members of Euronext Tech Leaders have been able to benefit significantly from Euronext Tech Leaders’ services, which aim to increase Euronext Tech Leaders’ visibility towards international investors and provide them with better access to public capital to fund their growth needs.

Following the launch of Euronext Tech Leaders in June 2022, four companies that subsequently listed on Euronext markets joined the segment. In addition to  the creation of the index made up of the stocks in the segment, an array of services and visibility initiatives have been deployed by Euronext for listed and non-listed companies:

• Euronext has provided members of the Euronext Tech Leaders segment with an exclusive access to top-tier events organised across Europe by Euronext and its network of partners, including investor forums and conferences to increase visibility and promote Euronext Tech Leaders companies to international investors, offering them strategic networking opportunities;
• A dedicated C-level club has been created, offering companies an exclusive programme of events, including knowledge-sharing sessions and networking opportunities, as well as access to a strong community of successful European companies and thought leaders;
• The first Euronext Tech Leaders Campus, the annual gathering for European Tech took place in November 2022 and included workshops with research analysts and opportunities for knowledge sharing with key members of the Tech ecosystem. Euronext will organise its second Euronext Tech Leaders Campus by the end of 2023.

• Euronext enhanced visibility for Euronext Tech Leaders amongst retail investors through the following initiatives:
  • Inclusion of Euronext Tech Leaders companies in liquidity programmes that are specific to the Exchange and designed to enhance trading conditions for retail investors, thereby increasing liquidity in Euronext Tech Leaders’ companies shares;
  • In partnership with Early Metrics, a leader in independent start-up ratings, valuations and analysis of Tech trends, Euronext provided detailed analytical notes accessible to all investors (including retail investors) on all Euronext Tech Leaders, as well as on the segment’s major trends.

• New partners have joined the Euronext Tech Leaders initiative throughout the past year and across the seven markets where Euronext operates.

Building on the first successful year of the Euronext Tech Leaders initiative, Euronext remains committed to further strengthening the European Tech sector. With the support of its partners, Euronext will continue to provide listed Tech companies with enhanced visibility among Euronext’s large international investor base, and to provide private Tech companies with a strengthened offering of pre-IPO services to help prepare them to become the next generation of Euronext Tech Leaders.
