A webinar entitled “Nasdaq Nordic – a promising direction for Polish entrepreneurs“, organized by the law firm Kochanski & Partners and Nasdaq, was held on March 16, 2021 at 11.00-13.00 CET via the Zoom platform. The event is addressed to Polish companies interested in investing on international markets, in particular companies from gaming, IT and biotech sectors.
Our experts will discuss the new strategies of sourcing capital for polish companies. In 2021, many companies will need flexible forms of financing, for measures such as business restructuring and technological development.
To this end, European stock exchanges must create favourable conditions for financing cross-border IPOs. This goal can only now be achieved by capital markets coalescing as a single financing market, free from barriers through the joint strategy “Ready for IPO on foreign capital markets”.
For the development of investors and companies we cannot limit ourselves to investors solely in our own local jurisdiction. The largest European stock exchanges, such as Stockholm Stock Exchange can play a key role in the cross-border financing of companies in turbulent times.
