Europe needs to keep its best Tech IPOs at Home

The European Startup Network (ESN) and FESE, along with Deutsche Börse, Euronext, France Digitale and Startup-Verband have issued a joint statement urging EU policymakers to enhance the Capital Markets Union (CMU) to retain Europe’s top tech IPOs. The statement highlights the economic benefits of keeping IPOs within Europe, such as job creation, talent retention, and economic growth. Key recommendations include boosting growth-stage venture capital, creating investment incentives, eliminating cross-border transaction costs, and improving financial literacy among EU citizens.

The goal is to create a competitive and integrated European listing and trading environment to support the continent’s most promising tech companies.
