Back

Lisbon - 18 February 2016 – The fifth edition of the Euronext Lisbon Awards, was held yesterday. During the event, the Portuguese Stock Exchange distinguished the issuers, financial intermediaries and other institutions, as well as the individuals who, in 2015, played an important role in the Portuguese capital market. The Minister Assistant to the Prime Minister, Eduardo Cabrita, closed the event which took place at Teatro Tivoli BBVA, and was heavily attended by issuers, brokers, investment banks, analysts, fund managers, law firms, academics, governmental entities, regulators and journalists, among other participants.

In his opening remarks, Luís Laginha de Sousa, CEO of Euronext Lisbon, underlined: “We remain strong believers in the fundamental role which can only be played by capital markets, as far as financing the real economy is concerned. Our actions are aligned with this view and through the Euronext Lisbon Awards, not only do we express public recognition but we also try to incentivize additional efforts, dedication and commitment, from people and organizations, who contribute to the development of the capital markets. Euronext will continue to dedicate significant time and effort to the communities it serves.

The fifth Euronext Lisbon Awards edition were hosted by Rosália Amorim, Director of the Rumos magazine. Also present to give the Awards to the winners, were several prominent and “out of the box” public figures: Luís Castro e Almeida, CEO of BBVA; Carlos Silva - President & Co-Founder - Head of Seedrs Europe;  Miguel Santo Amaro, Founder of Uniplaces; Henrique Sá Pessoa, Chef; Fernando Santos, Portuguese Team Soccer Coach; and the internationally known Fado singer Mariza (by order of appearance).
