In September 2015, Euronext launched TechShare to help companies reach the next stage of development. TechShare is a 10-month educational and mentoring programme aimed at familiarizing CEOs of Tech companies with the financial markets. Currently active in Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland, the program supports top executives from fast-growing companies through a combination of academic seminars, workshop sessions and individual coaching. TechShare is now a unique Tech network gathering 75 partners from the financial industry and 275 alumni since the first edition 2015– 2016, of which already four alumni listed on Euronext: Osmozis, Balyo, Theranexus and Oxatis. The participants are Tech companies from a wide variety of sectors, including Biotech, software, Medtech, electronics, hardware, Cleantech, e-commerce and fintech. Supporting Family-Owned Companies Euronext has attracted an important community of family-owned companies, composed of 244 issuers representing a total market capitalisation close to €1,200 billion, including 166 SMEs. In 2017, Euronext launched FamilyShare, a dedicated programme offering support and coaching to unlisted family businesses. The programme has been set up across the four Euronext domestic markets and tailored to the specific needs of each country. This unique pan-European initiative is designed to familiarise family- owned businesses with capital markets, both equity and bonds, giving them the information they need to bring their companies to the market. In June 2018, Cogelec was the first IPO from the FamilyShare programme raising €39 million on Euronext Paris, followed by one of Portugal’s largest construction companies The Casais group launching an €18.5M bond in 2019. Family-owned companies also benefit from increased assistance in several areas. This includes European roadshows to meet investors, improved financial analysis coverage through the Morningstar programme and Euronext Family Business index®, a new European index with ninety component companies in the four countries covered by Euronext.
