Euronext has officially opened applications for its 2025 IPOready programme, a six-month initiative designed to help business leaders prepare for listing. The programme, which you can join in nine countries and is open to all European companies, will begin in January 2025, with applications closing on 8 November.

Discover the best listing path for your company

For many companies, considering going public raises critical questions such as: "How do I list my company?" and "Is an initial public offering (IPO) the right move for my business?“. IPOready is tailored to address these questions, offering comprehensive guidance through expert-led workshops, personalised coaching, and exclusive webinars, including sessions by the prestigious INSEAD business school.

A network of experts

Supported by a network of more than 80 expert partners and sponsors, IPOready has already trained over 1,080 companies across Europe, equipping them with the insights needed to navigate the capital markets and make informed decisions about going public.

Connect with business leaders across Europe

As part of the IPOready programme, you will benefit from a two-day European campus experience, allowing you to connect with experts and peers from across the continent, an essential tool for executives considering an IPO or other financing routes.

Volume & highlights of the quarter

Q1 2024 was our best quarter ever in terms of volume and ADV, primarily driven by Euronext Wheat and Rapeseed Futures contracts. 

The volatility in the grains markets dropped in the beginning of 2024 which, along with low price levels, limited the interest in options while creating more interest in futures. Grains prices had been declining throughout the first quarter amid limited demand from destinations and ample supply from the Black Sea region.

Additionally, the weather conditions for the new crop were rather favourable in this region and in the United States, adding pressure on the prices. This bearish trend prompted some market players to readjust their positions, resulting in an increase in traded volumes.

In Q1 2024, we saw +30% in total volume vs Q1 2023, and +24% vs Q4 2023.

It was also a record month for total volume, with 2.8 million futures and options lots traded in February 2024.

Consultation on Euronext Corn

In 2023, we consulted the corn market to see how to improve our existing offering.

The qualitative consultation was followed by an online questionnaire. The objective was to meet market players' needs when deciding on potential changes to the Corn Futures contract and functionality.

You will find the conclusion of the questionnaire below, with several suggestions that seem to be a good starting point for us to deep dive. 

We will evaluate the different options in detail and publish our decision later.

Latest news about the Durum Wheat contract

The attraction for the durum wheat contract is growing. In March 2024, it settled with open positions for the first time, and we expect more volumes in the coming months.

The evolution of the Sitagri European Durum Wheat Index (SEDWI) is available on the Euronext website and its weekly average, provided by FinanceAgri, is published every Monday.
