Euronext wrapped up 2024 with the successful completion of a major strategic cycle, creating significant value for stakeholders. The company now shifts focus to its ambitious “Innovate for Growth 2027” plan, launched in November. A key part of this investment will be driven from Portugal, where Euronext aims to grow its workforce to 500 employees by 2025.
The previous cycle centered on integrating infrastructure following acquisitions of various European exchanges. This integration positioned Euronext as Europe’s largest liquidity pool, facilitating over €10 billion in daily equity trading for nearly 2,000 listed companies. The streamlined value chain now spans listing, trading, clearing, and settlement, offering companies broader investor access and more assets, including equities, bonds, ETFs, derivatives, and energy products.
Looking forward, the 2027 plan will build on these foundations. Euronext plans to introduce new products such as interest rate derivatives, expand ETF and repo platforms, and enhance post-trade services. This strategy aims to reinforce Euronext’s role as Europe’s leading capital market infrastructure.
In 2024, Euronext played a pivotal role in Portugal’s dynamic debt market, supported ELITE’s growth to 29 companies, and hosted investor events facilitating over 200 meetings. For 2025, the focus will be on helping Portuguese firms diversify financing options through initiatives like IPO Ready and further expanding trading instruments.
Euronext’s strategic plan heavily involves Portugal. The company will continue expanding its Porto hub, with a new facility set to open in 2025, reinforcing confidence in the region’s talent and potential.
CEO Stéphane Boujnah expressed deep gratitude to Euronext’s Portuguese team and partners, recognizing their dedication as key to the company’s growth.
