Pre-IPO and listing

Pre-IPO and listing Customised access to capital markets and growth funding

Raising financing in the capital markets is especially appealing for innovative companies that are achieving dynamic growth, and can lay the foundations for future successes. Going public enables companies to raise capital and to repeat the process through capital increases. Prior to a listing, Deutsche Börse Venture Network® prepares aspiring companies to access the capital market.

Market structure

Trading floor

In Europe, there are two paths open to companies wishing to tap the capital markets: markets regulated by the EU and markets regulated by the exchanges themselves. FWB® the Frankfurt Stock Exchange offers both. Issuers have the choice.
