European Small & Mid-cap Awards 2024 – Budapest

Tuesday 19th Nov European Small & Mid cap Awards

Yesterday evening, we celebrated the 12th edition of the European Small and Mid-Cap Awards, organised by the Federation of European Securities Exchanges (FESE), EuropeanIssuers and the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs during the SME Assembly in Budapest (Hungary).

 

The Awards highlighted excellent SMEs from across the EU that have accessed capital markets via an Initial Public Offering (IPO) in the preceding two calendar years. They displayed the diversity of European markets and aimed to promote stock listings on EU public markets, in particular targeting SMEs and growth companies.

 

Petr Koblic, President of FESE, added:

“While only one winner per category is crowned, the accomplishment of being listed on capital markets is noteworthy in itself, making every company a winner in its own right. These awards highlight successful IPOs from across Europe, serving as compelling examples of the benefits that listing on exchanges brings to companies seeking financial access.”

“SMEs form the bedrock of the European economy, playing a crucial role in job creation, fostering growth, and driving innovation. Nurturing the growth of companies celebrated last night is imperative for steering the green and digital transitions forward.”
