That means constantly adapting our exchanges and our services in order to meet the needs of European companies. To make things simpler and clearer, we have decided to bring together all the exchanges we operate under a single brand and a single name: Euronext. Updating our brand identity is the outcome of discussions we initiated with stakeholders in the European financial centres where we operate. Any business grows by focusing on the next step in its development. We are convinced that Euronext’s exchanges and services offer excellent solutions for each step in financing the growth of European companies.”
Updated operating rules governing Alternext/Euronext Growth and Easynext/Euronext Access as well as the launch of Euronext Block are subject to the approval of regulators. Euronext Access and Euronext Growth will remain Multilateral Trading Facilities.
