Bpifrance and CDC Croissance are organising this hybrid event on Wednesday, 28th September, 10:00-11:00 CEST, in order to address the topical issue of the listing capacity of small and mid tech companies in Europe.
The European VC industry has become much more mature over the years resulting in a boom of technology companies in Europe. These small and mid-cap tech companies play a key role in the economic and industrial renewal of the continent and therefore present a key economic, strategic and sovereignty asset.
However, the anchoring of future unicorns and decacorns in EU countries is threatened by an underperforming stock market listing capacity and a greater attractiveness of stock markets in other continents.
Bpifrance and CDC Croissance have drawn up a report containing 6 recommendations to promote the listing of small and mid-cap tech companies in Europe. This session aims to present these proposals and discuss them with the audience.

Bpifrance and CDC Croissance are organising this hybrid event on Wednesday, 28th September, 10:00-11:00 CEST, in order to address the topical issue of the listing capacity of small and mid tech companies in Europe.
The European VC industry has become much more mature over the years resulting in a boom of technology companies in Europe. These small and mid-cap tech companies play a key role in the economic and industrial renewal of the continent and therefore present a key economic, strategic and sovereignty asset.
However, the anchoring of future unicorns and decacorns in EU countries is threatened by an underperforming stock market listing capacity and a greater attractiveness of stock markets in other continents.
Bpifrance and CDC Croissance have drawn up a report containing 6 recommendations to promote the listing of small and mid-cap tech companies in Europe. This session aims to present these proposals and discuss them with the audience.
